A disqualified driver who caused the death of a great-grandfather by crashing into the garden where he was working and hitting him with a stolen Maserati has been jailed for more than 13 years.
John Bell, 74, suffered “non-survivable injuries” when he was struck by the car and pinned against the wall of a house in Broughty Ferry near Dundee on April 13 this year.
Fraser Garden, 55, admitted causing Mr Bell’s death by dangerous driving at a hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh last month.
He also admitted theft of a motor vehicle, driving without insurance, driving while disqualified, and failing to provide a blood sample for drug testing.
Garden was jailed for 13 years and six months when he returned to the court for sentencing on Friday.
