A drink-driver who killed a man in a crash on the way home from the pub has been jailed for 12 years.

Aaron Dunlop was speeding on his way home from the pub – where he had been drinking for a number of hours – when the car he was driving hit a motorbike on June 8 in Norton, near Middlesbrough.

The biker, 58-year-old Paul Greenfield, was travelling home from work when the smash happened on the A1027. He died following the incident, leaving behind his wife and three children. 

Dunlop, 30, made no attempt to help and fled the scene. Police said he planned on leaving the country to ensure he was never brought to justice.
