A 'reckless' woman who killed her boyfriend and two friends after ploughing into a tree on a country road has been jailed for three years. 

Jorja Colville, 21, was driving a Ford Focus  and reached speeds of up to 92mph before she lost control on a C-road near Falkirk on July 26, 2024.

After taking a bend at 85mph, Colville spun off the road and crashed into a tree, claiming the lives of her boyfried Reece Williams, 23, and his friends Lewis Soden, 24, and Connor Page, 21.

Sentencing, Judge Lady Ross described Colville's actions as 'senseless, reckless and obviously dangerous', and said the 'value of a human life is immeasurable'. 

Colville, of Stirling, sobbed throughout the sentencing hearing at the High Court in Stirling on Thursday, as she was jailed for three years and 10 months. She was also banned from driving for six years and 11 months.

The court heard how Colville, who passed her driving test in 2021 and was 20 at the time of the incident, sought to admit driving dangerously and at excessive speed as soon as she was discharged from hospital following the crash.

Lady Ross described the three victims as 'young men of real character' who were 'already showing determination and ambition' early in their careers, and were 'loved and cherished'.

Speaking to Colville, she said: 'You too knew each of these young men, Reece Williams was your boyfriend, Connor Page and Lewis Soden were your friends.

'You were going out for dinner, happy and excited to be out. It was an early summer evening, you were on a country road so the national speed limit applied.

'Not long before the collision you passed a clear warning sign regarding conditions. For reasons that defy understanding you were driving in well excess of the speed limit, above 80mph and reached a maximum of 92mph.

'You lost control and result was catastrophic. Three other drivers witnessed this appallingly dangerous driving and the aftermath.

'There was nothing emergency services could do.'

The judge added: 'When you are in prison I encourage you to draw on support that will be provided to you and take the opportunity to think about what you will do with your life.

'Three young men died as a result of your actions, but you have your life ahead of you.

'You too have the strength and capacity to turn your life to good account.

'I encourage you to live your life well, purposefully and constructively, not just for your sake but in memory of those who died.'
