A couple who fled the scene of an M61 crash that saw a schoolgirl thrown from her family car and killed will not have their prison sentences increased.
Hannah Jones was driving her boyfriend's Vauxhall Corsa when she lost control and collided with a Nissan Qashqai on the M61 in July 2019. Schoolgirl Sana Patel, aged 12, was subsequently thrown from the family car and suffered fatal injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
And as she lay dying, Jones and her boyfriend Safeer Iqbal called a taxi to take them back to West Yorkshire. During a trial at Preston Crown Court, it emerged the couple had been at a party on the night of the collision, LancsLive reports.
