A youth detention prison guard is facing allegations she had a relationship with a teenager jailed over a crash that killed a couple and their unborn child.

Matty Field, partner Kate Leadbetter and their unborn son Miles died after a drug-affected teen driver ran a red light, collided with a two-truck and ploughed into the couple.

Earlier this week, the now 19-year-old had his ten-year sentence upheld. He was 17 at the time of the crash on Australia Day in 2021.
