A drugged and dangerous driver who killed his girlfriend in a head-on smash while driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway had reached 136mph as he tried to outrun police.

Kane Farragher had vast quantities of various drugs in his system as he drove a BMW M135 with 24-year-old Taylor Jenkins in the front passenger seat.
