Kylie Anne Hie, 34, has been jailed for three years for killing daughter, 4, in crash. She had pleaded guilty to dangerous driving on an Adelaide freeway. SA District Court  Judge Paul Slattery said it was lucky no one else was killed.

She had 0.34mg of meth in her system when she tried to ‘squeeze’ around a 40 tonne semi-trailer on the South Eastern Freeway in Adelaide.
