27-year-old off-duty paramedic Jesse Rees was sentenced to 40 months in prison and given a 92-month driving ban for causing the death of 76-year-old John Stanley by dangerous driving while using his phone. Rees' Peugeot Bipper van crashed into the rear of Stanley's classic Honda motorbike, with police investigations finding Rees had accessed various apps on his phone for over a minute before the collision. Rees' actions have prompted the Stanley family to issue an impassioned plea urging people not to use mobile phones while driving.
