Crickhowell family urge people to sign petition 30,000 short of target in their daughters memory before Sunday Deadline

The family of a woman killed in a car crash are making a final push to secure 30,000 more signatures on a petition calling for a change in the law, with a deadline of Sunday.

Sophie Brimble died in Brynmawr in 2017 following a high-speed race involving two cars.

The driver, Jay Bayliss, was found unfit to stand trial because of a brain injury sustained in the crash.

A trial of fact later found him responsible for death by dangerous driving, but he was given an absolute discharge.

Sophie's sister, Aimee, said the outcome had left the family feeling they had been denied justice.

The petition calls for reform of the unfit to plead law, which Aimee said could give courts greater powers to punish people who cannot stand trial.

She said the campaign had been emotionally difficult, with the family still dealing with the loss nine years on.

Aimee said the change could help prevent other families from experiencing the same situation.

The petition needs to reach 100,000 signatures by Sunday to meet the threshold for consideration for a debate in Parliament.

Aimee urged people to take a few moments to sign, saying other families deserved justice.
