A teenager high on cocaine killed a mum-of-three outside a pub after inhaling nitrous oxide at the wheel.
Jacob Gaskell fled the scene on foot as 44-year-old teacher Laura Hazeldine lay dying outside pub Number 15 on Ormskirk Road, Pemberton in Wigan. The incident happened on April 8, the day before Gaskell's 19th birthday, and two months after he was handed a suspended sentence for a previous dangerous driving offence.
The 19-year-old also injured two other pedestrians when he mounted the pavement. Gaskell had been inhaling laughing gas from a balloon at the wheel of his Land Rover Freelander before the hit-and-run crash, reports the Manchester Evening News.
