Mariusz Kosinski, aged 37, was convicted and sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison following a fatal car crash on the A46 near Evesham. The incident occurred when Kosinski, driving at approximately 80mph, lost control of his BMW. His blood alcohol level was found to be more than double the legal limit for drink-driving.
The crash was captured on the vehicle’s dashcam, showing the moment the car flipped violently. Tragically, Kosinski’s passenger, 40-year-old Pawel Czubacki, did not survive the collision.
The court heard details of the dangerous driving leading up to the crash, emphasizing the severe consequences of driving under the influence. Kosinski’s heavy intoxication impaired his ability to maintain control of the vehicle at high speed, ultimately resulting in Pawel’s death.
