A driver who caused the death of bride-to-be Carol Tegg is now in custody in Derbyshire after being extradited from Australia.

Marcus Barney, 27, had been on the run for more than two years and he was arrested upon his return to the UK on suspicion of failing to return to prison having been temporarily released. He is awaiting a court appearance.

Legal proceedings to bring him back to the UK began last July when he was arrested in New South Wales.

Barney absconded from Sudbury Open Prison in Derbyshire after he was granted temporary leave in August 27, 2009. He was serving a seven year sentence for causing death by dangerous driving in July 2006, and failing to stop after the fatal collision on the A4074 'bends of death' in Woodcote.

Miss Tegg, from Gallowstree Common, died just four days before her wedding.

Her Citroen Saxo burst into flames after hitting a bus as she skidded to avoid two cars being driven by Barney and his brother Bradley which were racing each other along the road.

Sgt Dick Thorpe said: "We're liaising closely with Carol Tegg's family, who are relieved that Marcus Barney has been brought back to face justice."
