Liberty Mitchell, 21, of Chipping Norton, had her sentence increased to nine years and three months after the Attorney General referred her case to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. On 2 December 2022, Mitchell drove at nearly 100mph in a 60mph zone, overtook three vehicles on the wrong side of the road, and collided with a taxi, causing a pile-up. The taxi driver, Octavian Codreanu, died at the scene, and his passenger, Moyra Whelan, died from injuries sustained. Six others were injured, three seriously. Mitchell, a self-employed cleaner, was uninsured for business use. Police found videos of her speeding and reckless driving on social media. She was originally sentenced to six years and eight months in 2025 for causing death by dangerous driving, being uninsured, and causing serious injury. The Court of Appeal upheld the increased sentence, also ordering an eight-year driving ban with an extended test requirement.
