A speeding driver who jumped a traffic light and hit a jogger has been found guilty in his absence of causing death by dangerous driving.
Rashid Ali was going twice the 20mph speed limit when his Range Rover Sport struck marketing executive Jack Patrick Ryan near Battersea Bridge in west London.
Mr Ryan, 29, suffered catastrophic injuries and died at the scene.
Ali, 30, had failed to attend his Old Bailey trial and jurors were told by Judge Judy Khan not to speculate on his absence.
On Friday, Ali, of Beresford Road, Slough, was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.
