Garth Timokina Thompson, 52, was sentenced in January 2026 for a December 2024 crash on State Highway 1 near Taihape that killed three motorcyclists and seriously injured Jeremy Capper, who lost an arm and leg.
Thompson, a learner driver with a history of drunk and dangerous driving, was under the influence of methamphetamine and diazepam when he crossed the centerline, hitting a group of riders returning from breakfast.
Despite claiming he was distracted and sneezing, authorities found high drug levels.
His attempts to minimize blame were dismissed by the judge, who cited his criminal past, including prior convictions for robbery and drug offenses.
Thompson received prison time on three counts of causing death and one of causing serious injury.
