Dangerous Driver Who Killed An Eight-Year-Old Boy Is Jailed Again

A hit-and-run driver who killed an eight-year-old boy in 2006 has been jailed again after admitting to dangerous driving.

Ashley Lindon, 24, who was put behind bars for causing the death of Daniel Conroy Curtin in 2006, has now been sentenced for 18 months after a car chase in Middlesborough on 12 April this year.

Lindon pretended to stop for the police, however he sped away as an officer approached his vehicle.

He drove the Skoda Octavia between bollards and mounted kerbs with speeds of up to 40 mph.

Lindon also had 11 convictions for 22 offences.
