A man is wanted on recall for prison after breaching the conditions of his release, police have confirmed.
Gerald Cotter, 56, took cocaine and was driving almost double the speed limit when he caused the collision that killed 23-year-old Kieron Fevrier in Leyton, east London, in November 2016.
Cotter had been travelling in his Vauxhall Meriva at more than 50mph in the 30mph zone, forcing other motorists to swerve and brake suddenly as he overtook on the opposite side of the road.
He was sentenced in March 2017 to seven years in jail – six years for causing death by dangerous driving plus a year to run concurrently for having no insurance at the time of the crash.
The judge jailed him for a further year for handling stolen goods and a blade, to run consecutively to the driving offences, and disqualified him from driving for eight-and-a-half-years.
Cotter has links to the Hackney area of east London, the Metropolitan Police has confirmed.
The force warned that anyone spotting Cotter should not approach him but call 999 immediately.
