Jason MacIntyre, a three-time British champion and Scottish record holder, was killed today (Jan 15, 2008) when he was hit by a vehicle, said to be a council vehicle which overtook him and then turned into his path. The 34-year old was airlifted from the scene but died on his way to hospital in Glasgow. Jason represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in 2002. He beat the Scottish 10-mile TT record held by Graeme Obree, with a time of 18 minutes, 47 seconds. He also won the British 25-mile title for the second time and was leading Tour de France star David Millar in the Olympic time trial title race until a puncture ended his challenge.

Jason was my team mate in 2003, the last time that I saw him before leaving Scotland. Awesome guy and will be sadly missed by many people.

Just read this on cyclingnews, i'm completely taken by shock. aweful news.

Thoughts obviously go out to his young family. A massive loss to the cycling world also...

Just heard this sad news.

He was a great guy, he'd talk to anyone, no matter how fast or slow they were.

A great loss.

A fund has been set up to help Jason's family. I didn't know he was a carer for his daughter. It's just too sad.
