[28 May 2008]

An 18-year-old motorcyclist must serve six-and-a-half years for causing the deaths of five people.

In September 2007, Joshua Knight's dangerous driving caused the collision of two vehicles at Shuttlewood. Joshua and Leon Taylor, seven and four, died in a car driven by their mother, who was left in critical condition along with her nephew. In the second car, Kenneth and Martin Jones, 25 and 22, and Andrew Darnell, 21, all died. Knight had earlier admitted causing death by dangerous driving.
