Hit-and-run driver sentenced to three years in jail

A twenty two year old hit and run driver has been sentenced to three years in jail and banned from driving for a period of seven years. The court also ordered him to pay half a million crowns in compensation to the parents of a 14 year old girl who died as a result of the crash. The driver left for Britain several hours after the crash but later returned of his own accord when the police issued an Interpol arrest warrant. His defense attorney has appealed the verdict.
