The incident occurred on the night of August 20, 2022, in London. He was driving at over 90 km/h after spending more than $1,900 on drinks at a bar.
The affected family was returning from Wembley after stopping at McDonald’s for ice cream. Tully ran four red lights and crashed into the family’s car while attempting to overtake.
Tully fled on foot, while the girl had to be taken to the hospital with multiple injuries to her lungs, liver, spine, brain, pelvis, and arms. She died three days later. The father of the girl was also injured.
Edward Tully admitted to committing the crime and was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Monday (2).
“There is no will to live now without my princess. I have been destroyed, and I feel powerless. I wish I had stayed home that night. Now there’s only suffering, and nothing else,” said the girl’s father in court.
