A mother got a 20-month suspended sentence for a 2023 crash that killed her two sons due to a severely underinflated tyre.
Amy Sheppard, 29, a nursery worker, received a 20-month suspended sentence for causing a fatal head-on crash in October 2023 that killed her two sons, aged six and eight, after a severely underinflated rear tyre caused her car to fishtail.
The Vauxhall Astra’s rear tyre had only 5psi of pressure, and a prior check had mistakenly focused on a front tyre.
Though she noticed the issue the next day, she did not fix it.
The crash, which occurred within the speed limit, also seriously injured three people in an oncoming Audi.
Sheppard admitted to two counts of causing death by careless driving and three of causing serious injury.
The judge suspended the sentence due to her lack of prior offenses and mental health needs, imposing a two-year driving ban, 12 months of mental health treatment, and 35 days of rehabilitation.
The boys’ father expressed grief and stated she showed no remorse.
