Overview
- Judge Mark Lucraft said footage showed "a quite appalling litany of incidents" before the Oct. 18, 2025 collision that killed 20-year-old student Yubin Tamang.
- Justin Clarke-Samuel, 41, pleaded guilty in December to causing death by dangerous driving and to a separate dangerous driving charge.
- Prosecutors said he drove 67–74 mph in a 30 mph zone, was about 1.5 times over the drink-drive limit, ran six red lights, veered onto the wrong side and struck other vehicles.
- He failed to stop or call emergency services, driving eight miles home where police later found his damaged BMW and arrested him.
- Tamang’s parents said their hearts are "broken beyond repair," as the judge acknowledged remorse but emphasized that his actions took a young man’s life.
