A 20-year-old man from Lye has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for causing the death of his friend in a crash in Oldbury.

He admitted the charges and received his sentence at Wolverhampton Crown Court. Kristian's family paid tribute to him, describing him as a vibrant and loving individual whose life was cut short by the reckless actions of a friend.
