Next up on the news, a shocking and tragic story has emerged about a man who heartlessly abandoned his fiancée to die after causing a horrific car crash. Witnesses have come forward with new footage that reveals the reckless behavior of 30-year-old Cameron Jones, who was behind the wheel of his Audi on the evening of April 5th in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
According to motorists who saw him driving, Jones was speeding at an alarming rate of between 70mph and 120mph on roads with a speed limit of only 20mph. It's hard to imagine the terror and danger he must have put others in as he carelessly flew past their homes. But it all came to a devastating end when he lost control of the car and crashed into a garden wall with such force that it caused a scene reminiscent of a bomb explosion. Witnesses described seeing car parts scattered everywhere.
Tragically, Jones' fiancée, 25-year-old Demi Leigh Mabbitt, was in the passenger seat and was thrown a shocking 27 meters from the car due to the impact. She sustained fatal injuries but did not die immediately. Instead, she fought for her life for a week before ultimately succumbing to her injuries. And what did Jones do in the face of this terrible tragedy? He fled the scene and managed to evade police for over three weeks.
But that's not all. In a twisted and callous attempt to cover up his actions, Jones actually used Demi's phone to call the police. But instead of taking responsibility, he told the operator that his "missus" had crashed the car, trying to shift the blame onto her. He even went as far as to pick up a bag from the car before fleeing, all the while telling bystanders that he had to find the "guy who was driving the car." It's clear that Jones was only concerned with saving himself, not with the well-being of his fiancée.
CCTV cameras in the area captured the horrifying moment when Jones' car sped past homes at breakneck speeds, and later caught him running away from the scene. Meanwhile, a member of the public performed CPR on Demi until she could be taken to the hospital, where she tragically passed away a week later. Jones, on the other hand, continued to evade the police and did not turn himself in until a total of 24 days after the crash.
During his trial, it was revealed that Jones had a long criminal record, with 27 convictions and 55 offenses, including two for dangerous driving in 2015 and 2018. He refused to answer any questions from the police but did give a prepared statement in which he finally admitted to being responsible for Demi's death. He later pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and two other related charges.
In a desperate attempt to lessen his punishment, Jones wrote a letter to the judge, claiming that Demi was "the love of my life." But the judge saw through his insincerity, stating that no one who truly loved their partner would leave them alone and critically injured on the side of a wet road. Despite knowing that Demi was in grave danger, Jones still tried to blame her for the accident and absolve himself of any responsibility.
During the trial, Demi's sister, Gemma Williams, read out a statement to Jones, expressing the family's grief and anger towards him. She accused him of leaving her sister alone on a cold, dark, wet road, without even calling for an ambulance. And her father, Paul, added that their family was now incomplete without Demi, who was taken from them too soon. This heartbreaking story serves as a reminder to always prioritize the safety and well-being of others, rather than selfishly trying to save ourselves.
