Man Sentenced 10 Years For Fleeing, Leaving Fiancee To Die In A Car Wreckage Scene
A man identified as Cameron Jones has been pronounced guilty and convicted to ten years imprisonment on Wednesday for abandoning his fiancee to die.
Jones, aged 30 was reportedly in a car with his fiancee Demi Mabbitt, 25 driving at over 100mph, on roads with a speed limit of just 20mph, says another driver.
The Police confirmed from a camera how Jones fled from the scene of the crash in the South Wales town of Merthyr Tydfil on April 5, 2024.
While on top speed, his fiancee Demi was thrown from the car and fatally injured in the crash, and he left her behind. She died a week later in hospital.
However, Jones who later admitted the truth to the police, had previously told witnesses that she had been driving the car.
He was arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving a vehicle whilst unlicensed/uninsured, failing to stop following a road traffic collision, failing to report a road traffic collision and causing death whilst disqualified from driving.
Detective Sergeant Hobrough, a Serious Collision Investigation Officer in a statement said, “Demi Mabbitt lay dying on the side of the road when Jones callously fled from the scene of the crash without trying to help her.
“The tragic manner of Demi’s death has shaken the whole community.
“Cameron Jones’ actions on April 5 were appalling and his attempts to escape justice ultimately failed. Today’s sentence will mean that Jones is behind bars and unable to cause further harm.”
Apart from his sentence, Jones was also disqualified from driving for ten years.
