A 21-year-old driver in Pitsea, Essex, is sentenced after a double fatal collision involving an e-scooter. The driver, Deimante Ziobryte, is reported to have crashed into Roman Casselden, 16, and his sister Darcie Casselden, nine. After the collision, Ziobryte makes calls to her brother and partner but does not contact emergency services by calling 999, according to the reports. The sentencing hearing takes place with the judge considering mitigating personal circumstances. The outlets state that the judge hears Ziobryte has recently given birth, and that this leads to her being spared a jail sentence. The reports describe the victims’ ages and identify the location as Pitsea, Essex, but do not provide additional details about charges, trial findings, or the length and conditions of the sentence beyond the decision to avoid jail.
