A drug-driver has been jailed for killing his girlfriend in a head-on crash, after he was pursued by police.
Kane Farragher, 24, was jailed for 12 years and nine months after he admitted causing the death by dangerous driving of Taylor Jenkins, 24, from Edinburgh.
She was the front seat passenger when the already banned driver went the wrong way down the A19 near Sunderland on 1 March and crashed into a taxi.
Farragher was also handed a 13-and-a-half-year driving ban at Newcastle Crown Court, with Judge Moreland saying he “undertook a lengthy course of the most dangerous driving one can imagine”.
