A driver has been jailed for six years after killing a pedestrian while speeding along Great Yarmouth’s seafront in 2024.
A man has been jailed for six years for causing the death of a pedestrian by dangerous driving on Great Yarmouth seafront.
Zack Garrido, 25, of Mill Road in Burgh Castle, was sentenced at Norwich Crown Court after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving.
The collision happened on South Beach Parade at around 9.45pm on 27 August 2024.
Garrido had been driving a Tesla Model 3 up and down the seafront when he struck 39-year-old Paul Leavy as he crossed the road.
Mr Leavy died at the scene from his injuries.
Police investigations found Garrido had been travelling at speeds of up to 80mph before the collision.
The speed limit on South Beach Parade is 30mph.
In a statement read to the court, Mr Leavy’s daughter spoke about the lasting impact of losing her father and said ordinary moments still remind her of him.
His former partner described him as a loving father, devoted son and caring friend who would help others whenever he could.
Norfolk Police said Garrido’s decision to drive recklessly had devastating consequences and described the case as a reminder of the dangers of excessive speed.
