He had been drinking, and had evidence of previous cocaine use in his urine.

A video, recorded by one of the surviving passengers and released by the police, was captioned “I’m gunna die”.

Sharna Burgin, aged 23, was mum to little girl who is now aged five. Ms Burgin qualified as a paramedic shortly before she died.

Sheffield Crown Court heard at Roberts’ sentencing hearing on Friday (July 26) how Ms Burgin and another passenger had shouted at him to slow down, but he did not respond.

Roberts, aged 25, pleaded guilty to charges of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was jailed for nine years and six months, and disqualified from driving for a primary period of eight years.
