A motorist has been jailed for causing the death of his girlfriend when he crashed moments after the couple became intimate while he was driving.
Prosecutors said Minesh Parbat, 36, dropped his trousers and underpants at the wheel of his BMW Z3 to take part in a sex act with Lisa Watling.
Mother-of-two Ms Watling, 28, was found wearing only a T-shirt and bra after Parbat crashed on the A2011 in Crawley, West Sussex, on March 9 last year.
Members of the public discovered Parbat partially clothed in the aftermath of the collision.
Today at Lewes Crown Court, Parbat was jailed for seven years after being found guilty last month of causing death by dangerous driving. He pleaded guilty to drink-driving.
Jailing him, Recorder Peter Griffiths QC said Parbat was "entirely" responsible for causing the crash "while engaged in some form of sexual activity".
Parbat, of Gregory Close, Maidenbower, Crawley, showed no emotion as he was also banned from driving for three and a half years following his release from jail and ordered to pay a £120 victim surcharge.
Mr Griffiths told him: "I'm satisfied that the cause of the accident in which Lisa died was your decision to continue to drive your motor vehicle at a speed approaching but not exceeding 70mph while engaged in some form of sexual activity with your trousers partially down.
"I make it clear that the blame for this tragic accident is entirely yours."
Part of a victim impact statement was read on behalf of Ms Watling's father David in which he described the impact of her death as "like a shard of glass through our hearts".
He added: "It felt as though the world around us had collapsed, like someone had stolen the air from our lungs."
During the trial, Parbat denied anything sexual had taken place as he drove, adding that he had instead struggled to get Ms Watling off him before crashing.
He said he dropped his trousers and underpants as part of a "cheeky little dare" with Ms Watling and that "there was nothing sexual in it".
