It was a tragic death that shook the community.
And the man accused in the hit and run cycling death of Johannes Smolders, a popular Strathroy man, is due in London court this afternoon.
51 year old Fredrick Earhart is scheduled to make a plea.
Earhart, from Alvinston, was arrested three months after the collision on Thanksgiving Day in 2021, and charged with failing to stop at an accident resulting in death.
