New Year's smash driver gets four years
A 20-year-old disqualified driver whose out-of-control car smashed into a group of girls on New Year's Eve 2007, causing two of them serious injuries, has been given a four-year sentence.
Richard Doyle, whose own mother died in a car accident, fled the scene when witnesses began abusing him leaving the two 17-year-old girls, one of whom was celebrating her birthday, trapped and screaming in pain.
