In the Guardian report I noticed the line
After the verdict the court head that Alliston is suffering from depression and was treated for PTSD in the wake of the collision.
Which resonates somewhat with this https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/engineering-student-who-killed-man-while-speeding-in-sports-car-spared-jail-because-he-has-survivors-a3589326.html
(Driver doing 60 in a 40 zone racing another car hit and killed someone who was crossing at an "unsafe" place)
Judge Morris, who had previously indicated the student would be jailed after admitting causing death by careless driving, agreed to suspend the sentence because of Michta’s psychiatric issues following the crash.
