The son of the head of Russian pipeline company Rosneftegazstroy was sentenced to 6,5 years in prison by a London court Friday for involuntary vehicular manslaughter.
Ivan Mazur Jr, 22, crashed his Mitsubishi Lancer at 129 kilometers per hour into a lamppost on the Piccadilly Underpass on Nov. 6, killing front-seat passenger Charles Green, 21. Green's 22-year-old fiancee was also injured.
Mazur's blood alcohol content was three times over the legal limit and medical tests showed cannabis in his blood, the police said in a statement.
After hitting the lamppost, the car crossed directly into the path of an oncoming BMW sedan. A Mercedes then collided with the BMW. All six occupants of the BMW and the driver of the Mercedes were hospitalized.
Mazur, a Cambridge University student and former Eton schoolboy, was also disqualified from driving for 8 1/2 years by the Southwark Crown Court.
