A drug-affected driver who crashed into a family’s car has been jailed after being sentenced, following a fatal collision that killed their young daughter. Both outlets describe the family as devastated and say they are left baffled by the outcome, after the driver breached the law before the crash. The reports state the driver was using drugs at the time of the incident and that the crash resulted in the death of the girl. The sentencing is presented as the legal conclusion to a case in which the driver’s conduct and drug use were central issues. Neither article provides detailed sentencing figures, the exact drug involved, or the driver’s criminal charges beyond indicating that the driver was already acting unlawfully prior to the crash. The West Australian and PerthNow focus primarily on the family’s reaction and the fact that the driver’s jail term followed the fatal crash.
