The mum of a 14-year-old girl who was killed by a speeding driver wants all drivers who cause deaths to be banned for life.
Courtney Ellis was hit and killed by Brandon Turton - who was travelling at speeds up to 93mph in a 30mph zone in September 2020. Liverpool Crown Court heard in September last year that the schoolgirl, from Haydock, died instantly after being hit by the 21-year-old's Renault Megane on Blackbrook Road in St Helens.
Courtney's mum, Angela Burke, now wants anyone convicted of causing death by dangerous driving to be subject to a lifetime driving ban, after she learned that her daughter's killer would be able to get back behind the wheel after serving a seven year driving ban- along with a six year and nine month prison sentence.
