A Portuguese driver who killed a British grandfather after crashing into him at more than double the speed limit has been jailed.
Helder Pina claimed he was not used to driving on the left when he ploughed into Christopher Willmott last August.
The grandfather, 48, died after being catapulted 187ft (57m) into the air when he was struck by Pina’s car.
The 34-year-old Portuguese immigrant, who had arrived in Britain just three weeks earlier, had been travelling at between 63mph and 67mph when he lost control as he attempted to overtake a group of cyclists, a court heard.
Pina’s new Peugeot 206 careened off the road straight into Mr Willmott who as waiting for a taxi at 1.30am on August 1.
On Monday Pina was jailed for three years and banned from driving for four years after he admitted causing death by dangerous driving at Worcester Crown Court. The family of Mr Willmott has since blasted the ‘disgusting’ sentence.
Judge Michael Cullum told Pina the crash was ‘entirely’ his fault which had caused the death of a ‘hard working and devoted family man.’
The court heard Mr Willmott, of Worcester, was with a couple and their eight-year-old son who had all waiting for a taxi after returning from night fishing on the Worcester canal.
His friend Thomas Towers managed to pull partner Linda Finch and their young son to safety but Mr Willmott was unable to get out of the way.
A court heard the Peugeot hit the kerb and lost a wheel before it careered into Mr Willmott at between 63mph and 67mph.
Shocking CCTV footage of the crash, which was aired in court, showed the skilled kitchen fitter being ‘catapulted’ along the road in Blackpole, Worcester.
Pina then sped across a junction where he struck a lamppost before eventually coming to a halt 984ft (300m) away.
The court heard Pina had passed his test in Portugal in 2012 but had not driven on the left-hand side of the road until he bought the Peugeot three weeks before the crash.
