Devastated friends and family bitterly reacted to the sentence handed down to a drink driver who caused the death of a young carer when had had been banned from the roads just one month before. Jessica Drury, 25, of Bulwell, died at the scene in Southwell Road, Oxton, at around 8.10pm on January 19 this year.
Her vehicle ended up in a ditch after Matthew Adrian Plimmer, of Raylawn Street, Mansfield, ploughed into her - more than 14 years after he caused the death by dangerous driving of a passenger. Back then Plimmer, 35, had been driving in 2006 in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, without an MOT, at speed and without insurance when he lost control and crashed, causing fatal injuries to his passenger.
He was further banned in December 2021 for drink-driving, and should not have been behind the wheel, when he veered onto the wrong side of Southwell Road, Oxton, smashing into Jessica's Fiat Punto head-on, killing her.
