MDMA driver killed 'much-loved' grandad while 39 TIMES over the limit

A speeding driver who had taken MDMA killed a 'much-loved family man' in a crash in Cheshire.

Martin Cunliffe has been found guilty of causing the death of 50-year-old Gerry Smith following the smash in Warmingham in August 2020. Cunliffe was found with MDMA in his blood at the time - at a level of 39 times the legal limit, police said.

The 37-year-old, from Barnton, was also spotted speeding before the crash. Mr Smith, from Middlewich, was described as a man with a 'big heart' who leaves behind seven children and 24 grandchildren.
