An islander who caused the death of two women by driving dangerously on a remote rural road has been jailed for five years. Erland Flaws, 26, was also banned from driving for five years and ordered to resit an extended test before driving again.
Flaws was speeding in his Peugeot 307 when he smashed head on into a car being driven by Moira Towers on the A965 on Orkney in February 2012. Ms Towers, 65, and her passenger Anne Stanger, 64, who had been coming home from a bingo night, died at the scene.
The High Court at Livingston was told Mrs Towers' husband had suffered anxiety, insomnia and depression as a result of her death.
