Fair abandoned the Ford Focus which was found with her wallet in the front door and the engine still running."Thomas is our first thought in the morning and our last at night, he is loved and missed by each and every one of us," his family said in a statement."With the guilty verdict for manslaughter and the 14-year sentence, he gets some justice, rest peacefully Thomas."
Det Insp Michelle Thurgood, from West Midlands Police, said: "At the speed she was travelling, at the very least she was reckless to the fact Thomas would be injured as a result of her actions that night. "Had Fair applied emergency braking when she realised she was gaining rapidly on the motorbike, the collision could have been completely avoided, which inevitably could have prevented Thomas from being injured."
