A1(M) crash driver jailed for baby and aunt deaths

Judge Joanne Kidd said Karlene Warner was an “exceptional” daughter, partner and friend on the cusp of a whole new chapter in her life”, while Zackary was “so cherished” and a “beautiful addition” to the whole family.

She said the picture Anderson took of his dashboard before the crash was “chilling”, while photographs of the aftermath were the “stuff of nightmares”.

Judge Kidd said Anderson, who had travelled about 20 miles (32km) of his intended journey, “played Russian roulette with the lives of every man, woman and child” he passed, adding his “aggressive and entitled” driving made a catastrophic collision with other people inevitable.

Anderson was jailed for 17 years and three months, banned from driving for 21 and a half years and will need to pass an extended test before he can apply for a licence.
