The crash occurred near Waihola in October last year. Photo: Stephen JaquieryA teenage driver who killed two mothers in a crash at Waihola last year is a "disgraceful" human being, a grieving mother says. The defendant’s age coupled with the level of the charges meant he could not be sentenced to jail or home detention. The crash happened after the teen, who was on a learners licence, had been travelling many hours to Dunedin when he started tailgating another car. Ms Phuong’s family was also sceptical about the claims of remorse offered by the defence and some had attended a restorative justice conference with the teen.
