A Kingaroy man will serve four months in jail after falling asleep at the wheel in 2016, causing a crash in which a young girl died.<\/p>\n

Gregory Lee Clarke, 42, was sentenced in the District Court in Brisbane on Tuesday on a charge of dangerous driving causing death.<\/p>\n

The charge related to a crash which occurred on the Dalby-Kogan Road on December 19, 2016.<\/p>\n

Jada Norford, 14, from Dalby, was severely injured in the incident and died in hospital 13 days later.<\/p>\n

The court was told Clarke knew he was tired but drove anyway.<\/p>\n

After nodding off, his vehicle drifted off the road and hit a tree.<\/p>\n

Also in the vehicle were Jada’s older sister Tori, and a friend, Cameron Egan.<\/p>\n

Judge Jennifer Rosengren sentenced Clarke to a jail term of two years and nine months, but took into account the 260 days he had already spent in custody.<\/p>\n

The sentence will be suspended after four months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
