Horsham family '˜very happy' with car thief killer's jail term
Rebecca Nevins died aged 70 in November following the collision on the A24.
Serial car thief Conor Dobson, 23, abandoned the £30,000 stolen car and fled the scene of the horror crash. He was jailed at Hove Crown Court last week for 15 years for manslaughter and burglary.

She said: “We’re very happy with the results, the sentence is way longer than anyone expected.
“Nothing will ever bring our wonderful mum back, but we feel a little better knowing that Dobson has a lengthy custodial sentence ahead of him.
“Our hope is that he uses this time to improve himself and in future, set a better example for his son.

“She will always be in our hearts and on our minds and thankfully we have lots of funny photos and videos to remember her.”
