A CRIME gang boss killed three friends in a horror 127mph motorway smash.
Druglord Lee Docherty, 38, fell asleep at the wheel of the hired Audi Q7 on the M8 near Glasgow with seven associates squeezed into the car.
Mark Downie, 31, David Paton and Manveer Benning, both 27, died following the crash. The four others were badly hurt.
Docherty yesterday appeared at the High Court in Glasgow where he pled guilty to causing the deaths by dangerous driving.
Earlier this year, he was jailed for eight years for heading a drugs gang which operated from a barricaded block of f lats in Greenock, known as “the shop”.
Lord Clark yesterday sentenced him to an extra nine years for the death crash.
Prosecutor Greg Farrell told how Docherty and the others had been at a Glasgow city centre club.
