A baby-faced drug-dealer killed a man after driving at 113mph and crashing into his vehicle while on laughing gas
.
The investigation, which started in December 2012 lasted more than a year and saw the force's drug squad covertly target a ring which was "influential" in transporting the class A and B substances to Barrow. Cash amounting to £7,585 and £13,205 of product was seized from the "lucrative business". Top news stories today Liverpool Crown Court heard on Wednesday that Tinsley was driving a grey 16-plate Mercedes CLA 180 at "excessive speeds" on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway near to Croft Interchange in Warrington when he crashed into Mr Loller's silver Skoda Fabia shortly before 3.45am on Saturday April 29. Ian Whitehurst, prosecuting, described how he suffered "extensive, severe injuries to his chest" and later died in Warrington Hospital.
The former told the police he knew the driver as "Adam", and had seen the car's speedometer reach up to 134mph before the crash. He also said the front seat passenger was a man he "knew as Ben", who had told the defendant "let's go" as both fled. Tinsley, who sat with his head bowed throughout the hearing, had no licence or insurance at the time of the fatal accident. Mr Whitehurst said he had shown a "flagrant disregard for the rules of the road and the safety of others".
Sentencing, the Honorary Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC said: "There is no evidence to suggest that Mr Loller was doing anything other than driving his car in a perfectly normal and careful manner. What he did not know was that fast approaching from the rear was a high-powered Mercedes, being driven by you.
