Leicester Man Jailed for Double Fatal Crash

Simarjeet Singh, a 35-year-old man from Leicester, has been sentenced to four years in prison for causing the deaths of Gail and Ian Gale in a crash on the A47 in November 2022. Singh, who was driving without a license and insurance, lost control of his vehicle, swerving into oncoming traffic and colliding with the Gales' car. During the trial, evidence suggested he may have been distracted or lost concentration, though he denied wrongdoing, claiming an obstruction caused the crash. The couple's daughter, Emma Johnson, described the emotional toll of the tragedy, detailing how she had to identify her parents' bodies shortly after giving birth. Judge Ebraham Mooncey emphasized the profound consequences of Singh's reckless actions, leading to his disqualification from driving for four years following his release. The case underscores the severe impacts of careless driving and the importance of road safety.
