A 32-year-old Bourne resident has been given a prison sentence exceeding three years for causing a fatal vehicle crash in Gorefield, near Wisbech, earlier this year. The incident resulted in the death of a young mother and severe injuries to a teenager. The driver, Thomas Peggs, lost control of his Jaguar XKR on Gote Lane, which led to his vehicle colliding with a tree and then catching fire.
Grace Robinson, a 20-year-old mother, was pulled from the wreckage by passers-by but sadly passed away two days later. Macie Hall, 18, was left with injuries that will impact her life permanently. Though initially declared not guilty of dangerous driving, Peggs later confessed to careless driving and received his sentence at Cambridge Crown Court. This crash has deeply affected the local community, with Peggs now serving a sentence of three years and four months.
