Drunk Driver Sentenced After Fatal Crash

A reckless driver under the influence of drugs and alcohol caused a fatal head-on collision with a 35-year-old mother of two, Natalie Hawkins, sentencing him to four years and two months in prison. Waddell, a law and business student, swerved into the opposing lane at speeds of 70-80 mph, destroying a life and a family. The court emphasized the severity of his actions, noting Hawkins was a careful rider who had just earned her license. He now faces an eight-year driving ban and must pass a rigorous test before ever behind the wheel again. Hawkins’ family mourned her as irreplaceable, leaving a void in the hearts of her daughters and everyone who knew her. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
