Nine More Months For Lee Hughes

The crash caused the death of Coventry resident Douglas Graham and later his wife Maureen. Another passenger Albert Frisby received broken hip,pelvis,two broken knee caps,a fractured wrist plus chest injuries.

Hughes fled the scene and turned up at a police station forty eight hours after the crash and was sentenced to six years for causing death by dangerous driving.

Whilst inside at Featherstone Jail, Hughes has written a letter of apology to Mr Frisby who told the CT: "When I received the letter I just screwed it up and threw it in the bin,That's where it belonged. "It was a half hearted attempt and I did not want to keep it.

"He may be out by August next year but I'll suffer for the rest of my life. "Is it really justice when he left us for dead? "My life is ruined and I am stuck in the house and my wife does everything for me. "What happened is a living nightmare and I just hope no other family has to suffer the way the Graham's and we have."

If you are thinking about drink-driving this Christmas then think again.
