Drug driver, 25, is jailed for four years after killing a grieving mother-of-two on her way home from her sister's funeral when he smashed head-on into her car

A motorist who killed a woman returning from her sister's funeral and left her children orphaned was still suffering the effects of taking 'a lot' of drugs days before, a court heard today. 


Lewis Faulkner (right) became drowsy at the wheel of his BMW when it drifted into the opposite lane of a 60mph road and ploughed into Tereasa Cutler's Ford Fiesta (inset). Mrs Cutler (third left), a widow, was killed almost instantly in the collision on the A31 near Wimborne, Dorset. Her two teenage children, Alice (second left), 19, and Daniel (far left), 17, whose father had died from cancer several years before, were left seriously injured. Faulkner, 25, had traces of ecstasy and cannabis in his blood having taken the substances five days before.
