Show Notes

The father of one of five teens killed in a crash near Timaru, at Washdyke, has spoken about the driver responsible.

Tyreese Fleming, now 21, was on a restricted licence and had been drinking.

Although sentenced in June last year to two-and-a-half years in prison, he walked free yesterday.

He'll live in Christchurch, with conditions including not entering Timaru and Temuka.

Stephen Drummond, whose son Javarney, died in the crash, says there's nothing he can do about it.

"It's the police system, it's the way it is. He only served less than three months for each kid, basically."
