East Lothian driver who caused death of three school friends in crash escapes road ban

A driver who caused the death of three friends in a horror crash when he was a teenager has escaped a road ban after he admitted to crashing his car into a roundabout.

Robbie Gemmell was just 16 when he jumped into the driver’s seat of pal Jenna Barbour’s Peugeot 206 and careered down a remote country lane in East Lothian in November 2013.

Gemmell lost control of the vehicle and ploughed head-on into a brick wall resulting in the deaths of school pals Jenna, 18, Joshua Stewart, 16, and 15-year-old David Armstrong.
