A driver who caused the death of three teens in a horror crash has been slammed by a victim’s mother after he dodged a second road ban. Robbie Gemmell was behind the wheel of pal Jenna Barbour’s Peugeot 206 when it careered into a brick wall in East Lothian.
Jenna, 18, was killed along with fellow passengers Joshua Stewart, 16, and David Armstrong, 15, in November 2013. Gemmell, then 16, got a four-year driving ban and unpaid work after admitting causing the trio’s deaths by driving without due care and attention.
Now 25, Gemmell was back in court last month, but escaped another ban despite pleading guilty to careless driving when he smashed into a roundabout. Joshua’s mother, Susan Stewart, condemned the sentence as “ridiculous” and said Gemmell was a “menace” who shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
