Driver Octavian Codreanu, from Cirencester, and his schoolteacher passenger Moyra Whelan died in the collision on the B4425 in December 2022. However, the Crown Prosecution Service referred the sentence to the Attorney General's office under the Unduly Lenient scheme after sentencing. Police had been called to the B4425 at Riversmeet North near Aldsworth shortly after 12.45pm on December 2, 2022 with a report of a serious collision involving multiple vehicles. Many are now living with a daily reminder of the crash after sustaining serious and lifechanging injuries. An analysis of Mitchell’s social media found she had been filming Snapchat videos while behind the wheel.
