A banned driver killed his passenger after crashing into a tree as he tried to evade police. Anthony Riley, 32, lost control of a Volvo XC90 after driving at 89mph in a 30mph zone, according to Nottinghamshire Police.
On Monday (December 12), Riley was jailed for 10 years after admitting causing death by dangerous driving. His passenger, 35-year-old Mark Hunter, of Mapperley, was cut free by firefighters but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Nottingham Crown Court heard no other vehicles were involved in the collision, which happened in Hawton Road, Newark, shortly after 9am on August 28 this year.
