A drug-driver who killed a man in a crash – then ran away from the scene – has had his sentence increased by the Court of Appeal. Christopher Fenton was more than three times the legal limit for cannabis when his Audi S4 crossed into the path of an oncoming Citroen Picasso on Fairlight Road, Fairlight, around 6.45pm on 6 March 2020. Fenton, aged 40, self-employed, of Lower Waites Lane, Fairlight, ran away from the scene but was later returned by his mother, having changed his footwear. He pleaded guilty to the offences of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and appeared at Lewes Crown Court on Monday 10 May, where he was sentenced to a total of three years and eight months’ imprisonment. But the sentence was appealed, and at the Court of Appeal on Tuesday 6 July, it was increased to five years and three months. His driving disqualification period was also extended to six years and seven months.
