A paramedic's obsession with female colleague led to deadly crash

A paramedic's deranged obsession with a female colleague led him to gatecrash her barbecue which would ultimately cause the end of a man's life.

Robert Woodruff, 36, downed 10 pints of Guinness in a pub crawl just a few hours before he decided to pick up the keys to his dad's Nissan Juke and head to the woman's house. The paramedic proceeded to speed down the narrow road from Withernsea to Ottringham at approximately 80mph.

Meanwhile, he was repeatedly trying to phone his colleague after previously telling her he would turn up at her house with or without an invite. He had continued to try and call her all while swerving down the stretch of country road, Hull Live reports.
