Zebedee Watson, a 17-year-old motorcyclist, died after being struck by a lorry at the Holes Bay North Roundabout in Poole in November 2025. Dorset Police said that following an investigation, Paul Graham, 56, of Stoborough, was sentenced at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Oct. 14 for causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving. He received a six-month prison term suspended for 18 months, along with 100 hours of unpaid work, a driving disqualification for 18 months, and orders to pay a £154 victim surcharge and £85 in court costs. Watson’s family posted tributes describing him as “loving” and “kind,” noting he passed CBT in March 2025 and had hoped to start driving his own car.
