A Sydney judge has sentenced a driver who crashed while under the influence of drugs in 2015, killing three of his friends, to a maximum six-and-a-half years in jail.
Ben Sawyer, 19 and Luke Shanahan, 21, and a third male teenager, aged 17, all died when Jordan Brown, a P-plate driver at the time, crossed onto the wrong side of the Bells Line of Road near Bilpin and crashed head-on with another car.
Barbara McLaren, the driver of that vehicle, was left with serious injuries and Daniel Richards, a fourth passenger in Brown's car, also survived.
The group were driving back to Sydney's northern beaches after they had attended the Psyfari dance festival near Lithgow, when the crash occurred.
Brown, now 21, received a non-parole period of four-and-a-half years' jail, after he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and driving under the influence of drugs.
