A MOTORIST who crashed while high on drink and drugs, killing his housemate, has been jailed for six years.
Ionut Dumitru was driving a new grey BMW 5 Series southbound on the A21 London Road, at Flimwell, when he left the carriageway and collided with a tree.
The deadly crash, which happened in the early hours of December 14, killed his front seat passenger and friend, Marius-Madalin Bizoi, aged 24.
The pair lived together at an address in Heartenoak Road, Hawkhurst, Kent, and had been travelling towards a petrol station to buy cigarettes when the crash happened.
Several other motorists stopped to help after the crash, which left the silver BMW almost unrecognisable.
