Freed Eastern Bypass crash driver Angela Dublin has been banned from more than a quarter of the city so she does not meet the families of her victims.

Dublin was released from jail on Tuesday, halfway through a two-year sentence for causing the deaths of Josh Bartlett, Liam Hastings and Marshall Haynes, all 13, and Howard Hillsdon, 21.

Part of her licence conditions ban the former nurse from going to large areas of Oxford to prevent her meeting relatives of the boys killed or injured in the crash.

Breaching the conditions, which include not going to Cowley, East Oxford, Blackbird Leys and Littlemore, could see Dublin being sent back to prison to serve the rest of her sentence.

Jane Barber, mother of Josh Bartlett, from Blackbird Leys, said: "It's a sickening thought after only one year in prison. The thought of coming face to face with her in Oxford is unbearable.

"I fear the day any one of my children or family bump into her because at the end of the day she killed my son and who wants to be face to face with somebody who killed their son.

"At least for that short time she was in prison we could go out and try and do normal family things, hard as it was. We didn't have to look over our shoulder and think is that her'.

"It's only been 24 hours and we are already looking over our shoulders."

Licence restrictions also ban Dublin making contact with Josh Bartlett's family.

Marshall Haynes' father Dwain Haynes, of Greater Leys, said: "Only serving a year goes to show what a joke it is and what a death on the road means. I only hope there is a change in the law one day.

"I don't think the restrictions go far enough. I wouldn't want to bump into her anywhere in Oxford. My son was very special to me and I'm still very raw. I wouldn't like to see her anywhere near the memorials. They are there because of the actions she took."

It is understood Dublin is now staying in the west of the city.

She had seven children in her car when she veered into oncoming traffic on the Eastern Bypass in May 2005. She was jailed in April last year after admitting four counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

Neither Mr Haynes nor Mrs Barber were told of Dublin's early release before she left jail.

The licence restrictions do not ban Dublin, formerly of London Road in Headington, from visiting the crash site.

A driving ban until 2012 remains in place. The licence period runs for a year and can be reviewed after six months.

The Oxford Mail contacted Dublin's mother Daisy Jacob and her ex-husband Bert Dublin, but neither wished to comment.

Family members of Liam Hastings, of Rose Hill, and Mr Hillsdon, of Yarnton, were unavailable for comment.
