Driver jailed for causing death
A 26-year-old woman has been jailed for causing the death of a BBC cameraman in a road crash.

Marie Claire O'Brien, of Solihull, West Midlands, was jailed for three years and nine months after earlier admitting causing death by dangerous driving.

Passenger Tony Ore, 47, of Evesham, Worcs, who worked for BBC Midlands, died when the car O'Brien was driving hit a tree in Bartley Green last year.

Birmingham Crown Court heard O'Brien was twice over the drink-driving limit.

She was also banned from driving for six years at a hearing on Friday.
