A father who killed his son in a horror crash after driving at 137mph has been jailed for six years. Craig Melville, 41, lost control of his Audi RS4 after accelerating away from police who had tried to stop him.
His only child Craig junior, 16, died after the car hit a wall with the vehicle splitting in two. A 15-year-old girl passenger was also left with life-changing injuries following the crash on the B9176 near Alness in the Highlands on March 27, 2021.
Former trucker Melville was today sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow. He had earlier pled guilty in Edinburgh to causing the death of his son and serious injury to the girl by dangerous driving.
