Martin Young driving at 88mph on A1307 killed 84-year-old driver and then doctored dashcam footage

A driver who doctored dashcam footage after killing a pensioner at 88mph has been jailed for almost two years. Martin Young, 68, crashed his Audi into a VW Polo driven by William Hall, 84, on December 16, 2019.

After the crash, Young provided police with a mobile phone recording of his dashcam footage that obscured his speed. He told police he was driving at 60 to 65mph in a telephone interview.

Yet when detectives got an original copy of the dashcam footage they found Young was travelling at 86 to 88mph. The disturbing footage shows Young in the fast lane of the dual-carriage A1307 near Linton, Cambridgeshire, as Mr Hall begins to pull onto the road.
