Mum of woman killed in crash calls for law change

  • Charlie Hilton fled police at speeds over 100mph in a Mercedes carrying six people, crashed into a tree in Carshalton, killing 22-year-old Lillie Clack in December 2021.
  • The crash followed a police chase where Hilton ignored blue lights and sirens, refused to stop despite passengers begging, and ran a red light before losing control.
  • In February 2023, Hilton was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison after admitting to causing the death of Miss Clack by driving dangerously while intoxicated at more than double the allowable alcohol limit.
  • Lillie’s mother called for lifetime driving bans for convicted drink-driving killers, saying "Hilton killed my daughter," while road safety charity Brake advocates a 20mg UK-wide alcohol limit.
  • Charles Pease, who lost his partner Theresa Wade to drink driving in 2015, supports lowering the legal limit to take dangerous drivers off roads and prevent similar tragedies.
