Adil Iqbal was driving with one hand and using his phone with the other to film himself when he crashed at high speed with Frankie Hough on May 13 this year.
A driver who killed former Hollyoaks actress Frankie Hough in a high speed motorway crash will spend an extra three years in jail.
The 22-year-old tailgated, undertook other vehicles and swerved across lanes, reaching 123mph in his father's BMW. He killed Frankie, who was 17 weeks pregnant with her first daughter, Neeve, and caused serious injury to her nine-year-old son Thomas. The court heard Frankie had pulled over on the hard shoulder with a tyre puncture, and was making a call to say she would be late when she let out a “blood curdling scream”.
After the case in July, solicitor Rose Gibson-Harper, who represents the victim’s family, said: “Today’s 12-year sentence is insulting and an injustice to the catastrophic injuries little Tobias sustained, and the life sentence Mrs Hough’s family were needlessly handed following her and her unborn daughter’s death due to an act of sheer stupidity.
