Jake Loy was badly injured in the collision in March 2022, while his three 16-year-old passengers - Ian Cannon, Finlay Johns and Tyler Johnston - were pronounced dead at the scene.
A learner driver who killed three teenage friends in a crash that split his car in half has been jailed for nearly five years. Jake Loy, 19, lost control of his Honda Civic and smashed into a Honda CR-V on the opposite carriageway of the A711 at Cargenbridge, Dumfries and Galloway, during the early hours of 16 March 2022.
'The victim impact statements I have received all bear witness to the terrible devastation you have caused to the lives of family members and those injured. 'No sentence of this court can alleviate their anguish.' The judge accepted Loy had 'shown remorse' and noted the background social work report prepared suggested his behaviour at the time of the offence 'may well have been characterised by impulsivity, recklessness and poor consequential thinking'.
