A court has handed a suspended sentence to a driver whose "substandard" driving led to a crash that resulted in the death of his passenger. The incident occurred when the driver's negligence caused a collision that proved fatal for the individual, who was described as a new employee.
The judge ruled that while the driving was clearly inadequate, a custodial sentence was not warranted in this case. The driver will instead face community service and a driving ban as part of the punishment handed down by the court.
