A family spokesperson said: 'Lesley was a loving wife, mother, grandma and daughter-in-law. "As a family, we are deeply saddened by the events that have caused such a void in our family. 'Lesley was the glue that kept us all together and anyone who was lucky enough to know Lesley was showered by her unconditional love.' A number of calls around that time also reported six horses running loose on the A737. A 52-year-old woman has been charged in connection with this alleged incident. Reports will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. Meanwhile a lorry driver who knocked a much-loved mum off her bike killing her in a horror road smash has been spared jail. James Peat, 62, hit Una Brandreth, 56, after he turned his HGV into her without indicating at a junction. Ms Brandreth was dragged under the wheels before he drove on unaware of the rush hour carnage behind him. Peat appeared at Dumbarton Sheriff Court and admitted causing death by dangerous driving. Sheriff Frances McCartney imposed a community payback order of 200 hours of unpaid work. Peat was banned from driving for two years and also tagged for two months.
