Julian Castano-Perez was sentenced to four years imprisonment and given a driving ban of seven years and four months.
Detective Sergeant James Thorne, who led the investigation into the collision, said: “This is a very pleasing result. By accepting responsibility for their actions Castano-Perez and Brown have spared some of the victims the trauma of having to re-live the events of that night in court, and have shown remorse for their actions.
“This kind of irresponsible behaviour always puts lives at risk and it was incredible that no one was killed as a result of the events of that night.
