A BMW driver who killed a father-of-three, known as 'Mr Ibiza, while over the legal drink-drive limit has been jailed for seven years.
Daniel Masiulis - who was convicted in 2016 of failing to provide a specimen for analysis after suspected drink-driving - showed no emotion as he was led away to begin his sentence.
Masiulis, 38, a HGV driver by trade, was found guilty in July after trial of causing the death of Clive Pinnock by careless driving while over the drink-drive limit on Hyde Road in Gorton in 2020. He had denied the charges.
Mr Pinnock's family spoke of their grief in statements read out at the sentencing hearing yesterday, with his mother saying: "My life has changed forever." A court heard Masiulis initially got out of his BMW 520d and went to Mr Pinnock after the collision, but CCTV footage then showed him jogging away from the scene, as bystanders went to critically-injured Mr Pinnock's side.
Masiulis, of Baguley Street, Droylsden, Tameside, then went to a shop and bought vodka and Coca-Cola before ringing police. A blood test showed he had 129mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood, the legal limit being 80.
