Others were seriously injured but an eight-week-old baby miraculously survived unscathed
A young speeding driver, who killed one of his best friends after causing a catastrophic three-car pile-up in Nottinghamshire, has been sent to prison for 12 years. Nottingham Crown Court heard how William Martin’s yellow Seat collided almost head-on with a Toyota , killing his best friend Adam Sissons and injuring himself and two other people.
"This tragic case is a cruel reminder of the life-shattering consequences that can happen through dangerous driving, and it is crucial lessons are learned from this so that other lives aren’t lost in such circumstances. Not only will Martin now be serving time behind bars, but he has also condemned the family of one of his best friends to a life sentence without their loved one."
The driver, a 33-year-old woman, was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre with suspected life-altering injuries including multiple fractures which required surgery. Her 66-year husband, who was driving, sustained minor injuries and was later discharged the same day.
