Drink driver who smashed into rickshaw killing birthday reveller handed more jail time

A 'criminally dangerous' drink driver who killed a woman celebrating her birthday when he crashed into a rickshaw has been given added time on his sentence.

Luis Balcazar Soto, 25, was driving without a licence and was twice the legal drink-drive limit on July 10 when he collided with the pedicab in Elephant and Castle, London, throwing 31-year-old Sophie Strickland onto the road.

She died from her injuries. Rickshaw driver Tanvir Ahmed was also seriously injured and left with life changing injuries, reports Hull Live.
