During his trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, the jury heard how investigating officers calculated the car was travelling far in excess of the 40 mph speed limit when it crashed and that Faulkner-Wild’s blood alcohol level showed he was above the drink driving limit.
On Tuesday 1 December, the jury found him guilty of the following offences and he’s due to be sentenced next month:
• Two counts of causing death by dangerous driving;
• Two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
