A 19-year-old has been jailed for six years for killing two teens in a crash after speeding at more than twice the limit.

Owain Hammett-George was driving at an average speed of 70-78 mph in a 30 mph zone on the B4436 in Bishopston, Swansea, on 31 May 2022 when he lost control and his car smashed into a concrete pillar of a garage.

Ben Rogers and Kaitlyn Davies, both 19, died at the scene and 17-year-old Kasey Thomas was taken to hospital with a brain injury and a broken neck.

Hammett-George passed his driving test in February 2022 and within three days he was driving dangerously, the court heard.
