NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A dangerous driver who reached ‘ludicrous’ speeds of up to 113mph has been jailed for causing the death of an ‘irreplaceable’ dad-of-three.
Ryan Selby, 23, was driving at nearly three times the speed limit in a 40mph zone in East Sussex before slamming into Oli Paxton last year.
He was seen overtaking several vehicles along the A259 in Hastings, before he entered a white cross-hatched area near two schools where Mr Paxton, 40, was crossing the road.
Selby, from St Leonards, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving before being jailed for seven and a half years at Lewes Crown Court. He was banned from driving for eight years and three months.
