A LEARNER driver who killed three of his friends in a horror crash was slammed by a judge for causing "devastation" to the families.
Jake Loy, 19, was speeding in his Honda Civic when he lost control and ploughed into another car.
Passengers Tyler Johnston, Ian Cannon and Finlay Johns - all aged 16 - died at the scene on the A711 in Cargenbridge, near Dumfries, in March 2022.
A judge heard how Ian had posted a message in a group chat before the crash that he was "scared" in the vehicle and that Loy was a "terrible driver".
The first offender pled guilty at the High Court in Glasgow to causing the death of the boys by dangerous driving, and was sentenced to four years and eight months.
