A teenager who killed a mum-of-three after fatally crashing into her outside a pub whilst high on cocaine has been jailed.
Jacob Gaskell, 19, had been inhaling laughing gas from a balloon when he injured two other bystanders when he lost control at the wheel.
The teen sped in his Land Rover Freelander before the hit-and-run crash where he mounted the pavement in front of a pub.
The incident happened on the evening of April 8, the day before Gaskell’s 19th birthday and just two months after he was handed a suspended sentence for a previous dangerous driving offence.
As Gaskell led the scene on foot, 44-year-old teacher Laura Hazeldine lay dying outside pub Number 15.
Gaskell, of Marlbrough Avenue, Ince, has been jailed for nine years at Bolton Crown Court with a further 10 year ban following his release from prison, according to Manchester Evening News.
Gaskell had picked up a number of passengers in Garswood and was driving to Pemberton. Prosecution barrister Rachel Woods told the court that one of the passengers said that Gaskell’s driving was originally fine but then he started speeding and going through red lights.
One of the passengers asked to get out of the car because the teen’s driving was so dangerous- which Gaskell ignored. Gaskell then asked front seat passenger Matt Valentine for a nitrous oxide balloon and after initially refusing, Mr Valentine agreed.
Gaskell held the balloon in his mouth as he drove and other drivers on the road at the time described seeing Gaskell attempt an overtaking manoeuvre but instead mounted the pavement and smashed into three pedestrians, before hitting the Wigan pub wall and a lamp post.
Two of the pedestrians were twin brothers Jack and Ben Atherton, report Lancashire Live.
