The French driver who was under the influence of drugs when he hit and killed a female British lawyer has been handed four years in jail.
Siân Watson, 35, was on a jog with her husband David in Burgundy when she was fatally hit by a car along the Avenue Charles-de-Gaulle in July.
He administered first aid to his wife before the emergency services took over, but she died at the scene after paramedics were unable resuscitate her. In a moving tribute following the tragedy, the devastated husband described himself as 'broken'.
The driver, 44-year-old accountant Alexandre Jacquet, tested positive for three drugs, reportedly including heroin and cocaine which he had taken a two days prior to the fatal crash.
The Dijon judicial court delivered its verdict on Wednesday, handing the man a sentence of four years with 18 months suspended for involuntary manslaughter aggravated by drug use.
