31岁司机Jordan Kenyon因在服用GHB的情况下酒后驾车导致一名13岁女孩丧生,被法官Michael Tinney判处16年有期徒刑,其中不假释期12年以上[1]。事故发生于2024年1月3日,Kenyon在Stonehaven附近的道路上失控,冲向对向车道,与Mia Rossiter一家所乘车辆相撞[1]。Rossiter当场身亡[1]。
法官在宣判时指出,"这只是时间问题,迟早你会在道路上杀死某个人"[1]。事故中,车内四人均遭重伤,其中Mia的父亲Paul Rossiter至今仍需依靠拐杖和月形靴行走[1]。事故前三周的视频记录显示,Kenyon曾有违规驾驶行为,并自称是"世界上最好的酒后代驾司机"[1]。
A 31-year-old motorist has been sentenced to 16 years in prison, with a non-parole period exceeding 12 years, for causing a fatal crash that killed a 13-year-old girl on January 3, 2024 [1]. Jordan Kenyon was driving under the influence of both alcohol and GHB when his vehicle veered into oncoming traffic near Stonehaven in Geelong, striking the car carrying Mia Rossiter and her family [1]. All four occupants of the victim's vehicle sustained serious injuries [1].
Judge Michael Tinney delivered a scathing assessment of Kenyon's actions, stating: "It was really just a matter of time until you killed someone on the road" [1]. The sentencing followed evidence that Kenyon had demonstrated reckless driving behavior in the weeks preceding the crash; a video recorded three weeks earlier showed him boasting that he was the "best f---ing designated drunk driver in the world" [1]. Mia's father, Paul Rossiter, remains among those recovering from the collision and continues to require mobility aids including crutches and a moon boot [1].
