The owner of a car involved in a fatal collision has been banned from driving for nine months and given 180 hours-worth of community service.

Nineteen-year-old Andrew Reeday of Colby admitted letting a friend drive his vehicle on the Switchback Road, near Peel, in March when it was involved in an incident which resulted in the death of 14-year-old Onchan schoolgirl Lucia Porter.

Reeday admitted wasting police time and allowing someone to drive his car without insurance or a driving licence.

As well as being banned from driving, after which time he’ll have to re-take his test, Reeday will have to pay costs of ?300.

Peel teenager Craig Bridgewater has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and will go on trial next spring.
