A young Auckland man charged with careless driving causing the death of Steel & Tube Holdings boss Nicholas Calavrias has plead guilty.
Samuel James Trotter, 22, appeared before Judge Tony Adeane in the Napier District Court this morning on a charge relating to a crash earlier this year.
Calavrias, 67, of Wellington was struck and killed while cycling along State Highway 1 near Taupo on January 7 this year.
Defence counsel Cam Robertson sought restorative justice.
In 2010 Mr Calavrias became an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the New Year honours for his services to business.
