Dangerous driver sentenced to six years in prison

Wednesday, 11 January 2017 07:00

A man who killed a teenage girl from Himley when he ploughed into her car at 80 miles per hour has been sentenced to six years in prison today.

Georgie Evans, aged 18, died instantly after her Ford Fiesta was struck by 25-year-old Kuba Oles as he sped down Priory Road in Dudley in his Audi A6 on 27^th October last year.

The impact was so intense that her car split in two and she was thrown onto the road. Witnesses attempted to help and emergency services attended but she tragically died at the scene.

The police investigation found that Oles, who lived on Wolverhampton Road in Dudley, had suffered only minor leg injuries and fled the scene while witnesses went to Georgie’s aid. Officers tracked him down to his home address the following day and he was arrested and charged.

He was handed down the sentence after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at Wolverhampton Crown Court. He was also disqualified from driving for 14 years. He was sentenced to nine months in prison, to run concurrently, for another dangerous driving offence committed just weeks before Georgie’s death, on 1^st October 2016.

PC Alan Wood who headed the police investigation said “We know that nothing can ever bring Georgie back but we are pleased today that Oles has received a strong sentence for his crime and has been taken off the streets. His driving on this day was extraordinarily dangerous and inevitably put other road users in peril.”
