Gazment Doci jailed after a crash on the A179 in Hartlepool claimed the life of graphic designer Harrison Harvey, age 25.
Doci, 27, admitted to several offenses, including driving without insurance and a valid license. He also entered the UK illegally. Doci, from Sunderland, got 10 months in jail and received a 12-month driving ban. The court also fined him £120, and he must pay a £187 victim surcharge.
The A179 was closed after the crash. Police and paramedics responded to the scene, and an air ambulance also arrived. Harrison died at the scene. His family shared a tribute, calling him a beloved son, brother, and a great friend.
