United KingdomA 23-year-old man named Kyle Patrick was sentenced to eight years in prison for causing the death of a 19-year-old woman, Erin Slane, during a fatal crash. The accident occurred on 1 September 2024 in Perthshire, Scotland, when Patrick drove at 'grossly excessive speeds' under the influence of alcohol. Slane had sent a distressing message to friends minutes before the crash, expressing fear for her life. Patrick had already pleaded guilty to charges of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury to another passenger.
