Owain Hammett-George, now 19, has been jailed after he crashed an Alfa Romeo into a petrol station in Bishopston, Wales, in May 2022. Passengers Kaitlyn Davies and Ben Rogers, both 19, died at the scene while a third passenger, Casey Thomas, then aged 17, sustained serious injuries.

Despite the best efforts of people in attendance at or near the petrol station Miss Davies and Mr Rogers both died of their injuries at the scene. Miss Thomas was taken to hospital and is continuing
