A 41-year-old man was sentenced by the Orleans Criminal Court (Loiret) on Thursday.
He was found guilty of killing his passenger and another female driver in an accident in Baule in March 2021. The motorist was driving at 140 km / h on a wet road when he lost control of his vehicle, reports

.
He violently collided with another car driven by a woman.
She did not survive the shock, just like the passenger, and friend, of the defendant.
The 40-year-old was seriously injured and spent a week in intensive care.
“irresponsible behavior”
During the hearing, he explained that he was not driving his own car during the accident.
It was from a client whose status he had not checked.
A shock absorber leak prevented him from braking hard before the collision.
The prosecutor spoke of "irresponsible behavior" and sentenced him to three years in prison, a fine of 2,000 euros and a cancellation of the driving license.
He has no right to retake it for a year.
