City Trader Sentenced to 12 Years for Fatal Drunk Driving Crash

Edward Tully killed a 12-year-old girl and injured her father after driving his Bentley at double the speed limit following a night of heavy drinking.

• Edward Tully, 30, caused the death of a 12-year-old girl after running a red light in Barnet, North London, while driving his Bentley at excessive speed in August 2022.
• Tully had spent over £1,500 on champagne and dinner at a cabaret bar before the crash and was described as drinking heavily throughout the evening.
• The victim’s father suffered severe spinal injuries, while the girl’s mother and brother escaped without major physical harm but continue to experience emotional trauma.
• Tully fled the scene on foot after the crash and refused to provide a blood sample when he later turned himself in to police the following day.
• The court sentenced Tully to 12 years in prison and banned him from driving for 13 years, citing his decision to flee as 'callous' and 'cowardly.'
