CCTV footage shows the chilling moment a driver left his fiancé to die in the middle of the road after wrecking his Audi S3 in a 120mph crash on a residential street.
COURT RULING
Cameron Jones, 30, went on the run after the high-speed crash and was jailed for 10 years for killing his girlfriend Demi Leigh Mabbitt.
Jones, who was a banned driver, was driving an Audi S3 at motorway speeds on residential roads that were 20mph, before the car crashed into a boundary wall.
HOW HE FLED THE SCENE
In an attempt to cover his tracks, Jones blamed Ms Mabbitt for the collision, and told witnesses: ‘I need to get the guy who was driving the car’ and ‘My missus just crashed the car.’
Demi, 25, was thrown 27 metres from the ruined car and died from her injuries a week after the crash.
CCTV footage shows Jones’ excessive speed and the moment he was caught fleeing the scene. One motorist estimated he had driven at speeds between 100 to 120mph.
The car aquaplaned and crashed into a boundary wall due to his excessive speed, the wet road conditions, and insufficient tread on the rear tyres.
STATEMENT FROM WITNESSES
Chad Pop, a motorist who saw the aftermath of the incident described the scene as ‘like a bomb had gone off’ and ‘there were car parts everywhere’.
Another witness found Demi lying on the side of the road with ‘serious’ injuries – and performed CPR until she was taken to hospital.

Jones fled the scene, leaving Demi alone who suffered extensive injuries – and tragically died seven days later.
She was treated by the critical care team but her condition became ‘worse’ and an ultrasound scan of her heart showed abnormalities.
She was pronounced dead on by 12 April at 11.20am – a week after the crash.
JONE’S ARREST
Three weeks after the incident, Jones eventually surrendered himself at a police station on April 28 of this year.
During a police interview, he answered no comment to all questions, but admitted he was the driver of the Audi.
