Courtney Goodwin-Diliberto

Causing death by dangerous driving *

Sentence

5 years and 6 months imprisonment

Courtney Goodwin-Diliberto, then 21 years old, was driving her white Ford Focus under the influence of cannabis, exceeding the speed limit in Kingston Bagpuize near Abingdon on April 28, 2022. She was in a convoy with her boyfriend, Ben Ireson, 26, who was on his Yamaha motorbike. As she braked before a blind corner, he overtook her and collided head-on with a Royal Mail lorry, resulting in his immediate death. She attempted CPR until emergency services arrived and later admitted fault to officers. A roadside drug test showed she was three-and-a-half times over the legal limit for cannabis, and the crash involved high culpability due to impaired driving and disregard for road rules.

Pleaded not guilty but found guilty. Defence argued it was not competitive driving but two young people on quiet roads. Judge noted her remorse, the harrowing experience of performing CPR, and the impact of the sentence on her young sons, given her complex mental health background and use of drugs to cope.
