Paul Pettifer, who admitted causing the death of a student by dangerous driving, has been jailed for three years at Oxford Crown Court today.

Pettifer, 26, of Springfield Road, Wantage, was jailed after Grant Embling, 20, died in an accident while riding his motorcycle at a notorious accident blackspot on the A4130 in Didcot in September last year.

Pettifer's blue Honda Civic car collided with Mr Embling's motorbike - and he became the fifth person to die on the stretch of road since 2003.

Thousands of people signed a petition calling for safety improvements on the A4130 after the crash.
