context_page_description: Jason MacIntyre was a Scottish racing cyclist. He was a triple British and Scottish champion time trial cyclist and broke Graeme Obree's 10-mile time trial Scottish record in 2007. He was killed after a collision with a van on the A82 road.
context_section_description: On 15 January 2008, MacIntyre was on a training ride when a van turned across his path and he collided with it at Carrs Corner on the A82 road in Fort William. He was airlifted to hospital, but died of his injuries on the way. His corneas were donated for transplantation. His funeral was held on 23 January in Duncansburgh Parish Church.
  MacIntyre was married and had twin daughters, who were eight years old at the time of his death. A memorial fund launched by the Braveheart Cycling Fund to provide assistance to MacIntyre's family raised £28,000 in less than a month. The fund aims to pay for a carer for one of his daughters, who has a serious kidney condition.
  In March 2008, Robert MacTaggart, the driver of the council van that killed MacIntyre appeared at Fort William Sherriff court and pled guilty to the charge of careless driving. MacTaggart was fined £500 and had his driving licence suspended for six months.
  On the first anniversary of his death, MacIntyre's family placed a ghost bike at Carrs Corner as a permanent memorial.
  A fatal accident inquiry was held in March 2010.
