Video caught Ashley Dean's reaction as police told him he had killed his passenger driving at 57mph cocaine and cannabis in his system after six hours in a pub
Video shows the moment when a drink and drug-fuelled driver heard he’d killed his passenger after leaving the mum-of-two for dead to cover his tracks. ‘Selfish’ Ashley Dean, 40, was heard asking police “Is she alive?” after the horror crash where “bubbly” Lisa Birtwistle, 32, tragically lost her life.
Police investigators later estimated that Dean had been travelling between 47mph and 57mph before the smash on Blackpool Road, which has a 30mph speed limit. But instead of calling an ambulance for Lisa, Dean disposed of several bags of cocaine in a nearby alleyway just after the crash. Tests showed that as well as being over the drink-drive limit, Dean had cocaine and cannabis in his system. He was also not insured to drive the vehicle. He went on to admit causing death by dangerous driving and causing death while uninsured. And on Friday, Dean was jailed for nine years and four months at Preston Crown Court and banned from driving for 14 years.
“My thoughts are very much with Lisa’s loved ones today. I hope the outcome of this case brings them some form of closure. Sadly, I am talking about yet another fatality caused by an individual driving whilst impaired. This case, like so many others, demonstrates the truly devastating impact of drink-driving.
