Benjamin Lewis reached speeds of 93mph as when he lost control of his car

A BMW driver who reached speeds of up to 93mph in a 60mph zone crashed into another car killing two women.

Cheshire Police's Serious and Complex Collision Investigation Unit enlisted a forensic collision investigator to reconstruct the crash and the events leading up to it. This identified the BMW had crossed the double solid white lines and entered into the opposite lane when it hit the Citroen.He initially pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of death by careless driving, however the prosecution refused to accept his guilty plea and a trial was listed for September 2023.

"During the investigation, we utilised data collected by global satellites connected to electronic devices to show that Lewis had driven at high speed on several roads just before the collision. It was also shown that on entering the A5117, despite the terrible weather conditions, Lewis accelerated harshly up past 90mph before losing control of his BMW on the wrong side of a double white line system.

“Lewis refused to acknowledge the severity of the charges but once he realised the mountain of evidence that was stacked against him, he admitted his dangerous driving had cost two young women their lives.
