A COUNTY Court judge last week sentenced Caleb Jakobsson to seven years in jail for riding his mini-bike into, and killing, a Carrum Downs woman in September 2015.
Judge Campton found the now 20-year-old guilty of culpable driving causing death and failing to stop immediately after the accident outside Carrum Downs Shopping Centre. She imposed a non-parole period of four years and disqualified him from applying for a licence for four years.
Jakobsson was speeding on his monkey bike when he fatally struck Andrea Lehane, 34, as she walked over a crossing. The then 18-year-old fled the scene, leaving the mother-of-two dying on the road with severe brain injuries.
She died in hospital days later. Jakobsson later handed himself in to police.
