A teenage van driver who killed a biker after failing to spot a red light while correcting a wrong turn has walked free from court. Joseph Moffat smashed into speeding biker Christopher Gage as he tried to turn back the way he'd come when he realised he was in the wrong lane, a court heard.
Mr Gage, a dad-of-one, was taken to hospital following the smash in Rochdale but died several days later. Minshull Street Crown Court heard how Moffat, 18, who had an 'impeccable record', was driving near the junction close to Hopwood Hall College on Rochdale Road in September 2020 when he made the 'rash decision' to turn in the road.

Michael B. Jordan versus Jonathan Majors in the first trailer for “Creed III,” and who will win this brawl is anybody’s guess. MGM and United Artists Releasing debuted footage from the upcoming boxing sequel on Tuesday morning. Jordan returns as Adonis “Donnie” Creed, son of Rocky Balboa’s fiercest opponent, Apollo Creed. But the actor isn’t just throwing punches at Majors’ antagonist Damian “Dame” Anderson in the film, “Creed III” also marks Jordan’s directorial debut. Just as “Rocky” star Sylvester Stallone went on to helm four of the franchise’s films, Jordan stakes his own claim behind the camera with an ambitious take on the material.
“There’s no enemy like the past,” and the past is certainly catching up with Adonis Creed in “Creed III.” And star Michael B. Jordan is doing triple duty on this film with all of it on his shoulders.
