Rachael Boardman, a 43-year-old woman, has been sentenced to six years in prison and banned from driving for 13 years after causing a fatal car crash while intoxicated. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when Boardman crashed her car into a tree at high speed. She had been drinking heavily and taking drugs earlier in the evening.

Tragically, one man, Dominic Fryer, lost his life in the collision. Fryer, a 51-year-old passenger in Boardman’s car, was not wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene. His family has expressed their devastation over the loss of an “amazing” husband, father, and grandfather. In a victim’s personal statement read out in court, his wife Kristy described him as the pillar of their family and expressed the immense void his absence has created in their lives.
