A British backpacker has been sentenced to four years in prison after a fatal collision with a father-of-two while riding an electric scooter in Australia.

Alicia Kemp, 25, from Redditch, Worcestershire, appeared at Perth district court in Western Australia on Friday where she was sentenced after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death while under the influence of alcohol.

Judge Wendy Hughes handed Kemp a four-year prison term, backdated to June 2025 for time served, with a non-parole period of two years. She could be eligible for release in mid-2027. Her driving licence was suspended for two years.

Kemp was over the legal blood alcohol limit when she hit 51-year-old Thanh Phan in Perth on 31 May.

Phan died in hospital several days later, having suffered a brain bleed.
