A woman lost her mum three days after her partner of 43 years died in a horror crash.
Paul Loller, from Wirral, was killed in April this year after his car was struck by a Mercedes travelling at an estimated 113mph on the M62. Shaun Tinsley, from West Derby, was today jailed for causing his death by dangerous driving.
A statement was read out to Liverpool Crown Court on behalf of the 61-year-old victim's lover of more than four decades during his sentencing hearing. In it, she described Mr Loller as her "best friend and confidante" and said that her mother had also died only three days after his death.
