A P-plate driver has been jailed for 12 years after he recklessly drove at nearly twice the speed limit with too many people in the car when he smashed into a tree and killed five young teenagers.
John van de Putte arrived at HisHouse Church in Picton, south-west of Sydney, on Thursday to pay his respects to Tyrese Bechard, 15, who died in the same car accident as his daughter, Lily.
