A driver who crashed and killed a teenage girl after squeezing seven friends into a stolen van, has been jailed for seven years.
Kyle Perkins, 25, of Cwmaman, Rhondda Cynon Taff, crashed on Bryn Terrace, Aberdare, on 3 August, 2015.
Sammy-Jo Davies, 19, died and six others were seriously injured.
Perkins previously pleaded guilty to three charges, including causing death by dangerous driving at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court.
The court heard the community had been divided by what had happened.
Judge Richard Twomlow said no sentence he could pass would alleviate the sorrow and grief felt by Miss Davies's family and friends.
