John Allan James Billing was sentenced to 10 years in jail for aggravated dangerous driving occasioning death and several other charges on Thursday last week after an accident on September 17, 2015 in which a young man was killed.
He will be eligible for parole in eight years.
Mr Billing was driving a car without holding a driver’s license when he collided with a wooden power pole on Leslie Street, near Blackwood Parade, around 8pm.
He had been driving dangerously around Mandurah prior to the accident, according to Major Crash’s investigator at the time detective senior constable Tom Grieve.
One passenger, 18-year-old Maskill Pease, died at the scene.
Two others suffered minor injuries.
Mr Billing fled the scene, failing to report the crash and to provide assistance to the victims, and breaching a violence restraining order.
