Scots driver killed teen son in horrific high-speed crash after being clocked at 137mph

A speeding motorist who killed his only child in a horrific crash after he approached police driving at 137 mph on a Highland road was jailed today.

Craig Melville accelerated away from officers who signalled him to stop before losing control of his vehicle and colliding with a stone wall.

His Audi RS4 car split into two sections in the crash and his son Craig junior, 16, was thrown from the vehicle and was found in a field about 40 metres from the road with fatal injuries.
