A former detective chief inspector has been jailed for three years and seven months after causing a fatal crash while on duty, killing a respected educational psychologist and seriously injuring a colleague. Despite a decade-old medical warning to stop driving due to blackouts, Cooper was behind the wheel of an unmarked police car—unbelted and with his foot on the accelerator—when the vehicle veered off course. The court heard he was disoriented post-crash, even claiming to be a painter and decorator. His family endured years of anguish waiting for justice, while Cooper expressed remorse in a letter. The judge stressed his guilt stemmed from knowingly driving despite medical risks and failing to disclose his condition. He’s also banned from driving for five years and must pass a medical retest before any future license. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
