A dangerous driver with a history of traffic violations has been jailed after a horrific high-speed crash claimed the lives of two schoolboys. The driver, who was speeding at 96mph and had been drinking alcohol, smashed into a stationary vehicle, resulting in the tragic deaths of the two teenagers.
The court heard how the defendant had multiple prior convictions for driving offences, yet continued to flout the law. Witnesses described the moments leading up to the collision as terrifying, with the driver showing blatant disregard for road safety.
Families Devastated by Loss
The families of the victims expressed their heartbreak during the trial, describing the boys as bright and promising students with their whole lives ahead of them. The judge condemned the driver's actions as "utterly irresponsible" and handed down a significant prison sentence.
Call for Tougher Penalties
This case has reignited debates about road safety and the need for stricter penalties for repeat offenders. Campaigners argue that tougher measures are required to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
Authorities have urged drivers to think twice before getting behind the wheel under the influence or engaging in reckless behaviour on the roads.
