A reckless driver lost control of his powerful car, resulting in a tragic death and serious injuries.
Washington: A dangerous driver caused a tragic accident that killed his brother’s girlfriend. Gavin Hall was showing off in his new Audi S3 when he lost control.
Hall had just modified the car to boost its power. He drove with his brother and their girlfriends on a rainy night. Despite the bad weather, he sped up to 90 mph on a 70 mph road.
Due to his speed, the car aquaplaned and crashed. Lois Davidson, his brother’s girlfriend, died in the accident. Hall and the others suffered serious injuries.
Hall, 39, from Jarrow, had a history of driving offenses. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for causing Lois’s death and injuring others. Her mother expressed deep sorrow over the loss.
Lois was just 27 and had dreams for her future. Her family will miss her dearly. They criticized the delays in the court case and Hall’s lack of remorse.
Hall had only driven the Audi for a minute before the crash. His brother said he was speeding and trying to impress others. The judge noted the car was nearly destroyed in the accident.
Police found no defects in the car, and everyone was wearing seatbelts. The cause of the crash was excessive speed in wet conditions.
Hall’s reckless driving was a choice that disregarded the safety of others. He had a history of dangerous driving and was caught speeding again after the accident.
After the trial, the police expressed their condolences to Lois’s family. They hope the sentence brings some closure, even though it can’t bring her back.
