Drink-Driver Who Killed Early-Morning Cyclist Admits Guilt

Killed By Drink-Driver: Edward Orrey

A drink-driver, who killed a cyclist while over the alcohol limit just after dawn, has been locked-up pending his sentencing.
Kingsley Gordon-Allen, 20, of Ashville Road, Leytonstone collided with Edward Orrey, 56, (pictured) at 6.36am in nearby Gainsborough Road on February 9, last year.
He pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court to causing the death of Mr. Orrey, by careless driving whilst unfit through alcohol and will be sentenced on March 7.
The Cornish native was pronounced dead outside Leytonstone Underground Station and a post-mortem four days later confirmed the cause of death as multiple injuries.
There was an immediate hunt for the silver Peugeot 206 responsible and the vehicle was found abandoned in nearby Bushwood and Gordon-Allen was later arrested.
