A driver who crashed a car at speed into the back of an articulated lorry and walked away from the scene while his friend lay dead in the passenger seat has been jailed for 6.5 years. The car, which was driven by Jake Kelly (22), was trapped underneath the lorry trailer in the wake of the crash. The passenger side of the car was covered in tarmacadam, which poured out of the back of the articulated lorry upon impact. Emergency responders who arrived at the scene were not aware there was a passenger in the car and the body of the young man, Ross Rice, was discovered a couple of hours after the crash.
