A ‘frightening’ driver who modified his car to ‘drift’ was today jailed for nine years after the ‘death trap’ BMW swerved into oncoming traffic and killed his girlfriend.
Liam Pusey, 23, was racing another car at speeds of up to 85mph in a 50mph zone on his way back from a ‘romantic date’ with his girlfriend Melissa Orsborn shortly before the accident on February 4, 2021.
Pusey had carried out ‘dangerous modifications’ to his grey 3 series including removing the anti roll bar and welding the differential to ‘deliberately’ reduce the vehicle’s traction, so that it would drift or slide
