Driver Jailed After Fatal Reckless Driving Incident in New Beith

A Logan man, Joshua Boyton, 25, has been sentenced to four and a half years in jail for dangerous driving causing death. The incident occurred in New Beith, Queensland, when Boyton, driving a modified car at 117 km/h in a 70 km/h zone, lost control and crashed into trees, killing his friend, a young motocross pro. Boyton had a history of traffic offenses and was on bail for drug possession at the time of the accident. Dolly Chorley, the victim's mother, expressed her heartbreak and anger at the relatively lenient sentence. "It was a light sentence," she said. "A very light sentence. He got away with it." The video includes emotional interviews with Chorley and her daughter, Skye, who highlight the devastating impact of the loss. The case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving.
