A man has been jailed for five years and banned from driving for six years, after the car he was driving struck and killed a teenager.
Anthony Robinson, 30, of Lansbury Avenue, Cefn Hengoed, was driving a black BMW at 40mph when it mounted a kerb and hit pedestrian Gerwyn Allan Osborne-Flanagan, aged 18.
The teen was walking along Hengoed Avenue on September 28 last year at around 12.55pm when he was killed.
Robinson was convicted of death by dangerous driving after a trial at Newport Crown Court.
The court was told how Robinson, who had denied the charge, was speeding along the road, which has a 30mph limit.
The driver claimed that he did not mount the curb and that Mr Osborne-Flanagan had fallen into the path of the car.
