Shrewsbury worker Ashley Kosciekowski caused the death of trainee primary school teacher Charlotte Hope by dangerous driving, in the horror crash on the A53 at Upper Astley.
Ashley Kosciekowski, of Knypersley Road, Stoke-on-Trent, was sentenced to six years and eight months in jail at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Thursday.
She attended Edge Hill University and had also volunteered with the League of Friends to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital during the pandemic. While driving back home her Blue VW Polo was hit head-on by Kosciekowski after he had overtaken three cars at around 80mph. Mrs Hope suffered serious injuries in the crash, including a broken ankle, fractures to her ribs and nose, and a herniated bowel.
Mr Beardwell told that as the convoy passed the Dog in the Lane pub, at Upper Astley, Kosciekowski overtook all three vehicles, travelling at up to 84mph in his three-litre turbocharged BMW, leading to the tragic head-on collision.
