The family of an aged care nurse killed in a fatal car crash by a young woman on drugs say they are devastated she has escaped conviction on a drug driving charge.

Harrington’s Learner licence had been suspended at the time of the crash. Blood tests showed Harrington had taken a cocktail of drugs including amphetamine, methamphetamine and cannabis.
