People have called for tougher sentences after a "kind-hearted" dad died in a head on crash with a drink driver.
William Ludlow, 65, was enjoying a day out with his partner in Wirral when drink driver Andrew Stinchcomb drove his BMW 3 Series into the opposite lane and smashed into his car at speed. Mr Ludlow, originally from Anfield and living in Seaforth, was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries but died two days later.
Stinchcomb told police at the scene that he had been "drinking spirits", and was found to be more than double the limit when tested six hours after the smash on Willaston Road in Neston on July 26 2021. He was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, January 4, for 56 months after admitting causing death by careless driving, and banned from driving for six years and four months.
