Connor Jones ignored his passengers' pleas to slow down before the fatal crash in Brierley Hill last summer and then callously left those injured who believed he had gone for help.

Jones, of Kennedy Crescent, Lower Gornal, was jailed for 12 years at Wolverhampton Crown Court this week for causing the death of Kane Foster by dangerous driving and causing serious injury to two women by dangerous driving.

Connor Jones checked into hospital two days after the crash

The 21-year-old drove his Ford Focus on the wrong side of the road before it crashed into an oncoming car in Coopers Bank Road on the evening of June 16 last year.
