Girl avoids jail over fatal car crash
An L-Plater who crashed her grandmother's car, killing a friend, will serve no time behind bars and has been sentenced instead to 15 months' home detention.

The girl, who cannot be named, was also disqualified from driving for three years.

In September, Judge Roy Ellis, in the Parramatta District Court, sentenced her to 15 months in jail with a non-parole period of six months but then requested a report to assess her suitability for home detention and freed her on bail.

On Friday in the same court, the judge imposed the home detention sentence, which will begin on November 13.

He ordered her to reside at a particular address, to be supervised by a probation officer and noted that her detention will expire on February 12, 2011.

The girl, 16 at the time of the crash, had only 24 hours of driving experience when she took her sister and her late school friend, Stephanie Evans, on the joy ride on September 9, 2008.

After driving around Dural, in Sydney's northwest, she crashed into a power pole at about 90km/h in a 60km/h zone.

Stephanie Evans died at the scene.
