Olivia Riley was walking her two dogs called Lily and Maia and a Golden Retriever puppy called Darcy when they were hitA drink and drug driver has been jailed for killing a woman and her three dogs in west London.
Prosecuting, Suki Dhadda said Dancs was racing against two other cars before the crash - a BMW and a Mercedes - and was seen on CCTV accelerating away from traffic lights faster than the Mercedes and overtaking that vehicle before he hit Ms Riley. The court also heard from an off-duty police officer who heard the crash and saw a woman lying on the road with a traffic light pole on top of her.
Dancs, who worked as a team leader at a "well-known pizza restaurant" in north London, suffered minor injuries in the crash. Defending, Jeremy Dein KC said Dancs had experienced the break-up of a long-term relationship, had not intended to drink alcohol that evening and was planning to get a taxi home, but he went on to drink and take a line of cocaine.
