A man has been sentenced to 28 years in jail over a car crash that killed four children at Oatlands, in Sydney's west, in which he was drunk and drugged.
Samuel William Davidson reportedly lost control of Ute while excessively speeding, mounted a curb, and hit a group of seven children in February last year.
Siblings Anthony, 13, Angelina, 12, Sienna Abdallah, 9, and their cousin Veronique Sakr, 11, died at the scene.

Three other children were injured in the crash, one of them has been left with a permanent brain injury.
Davidson, 30, pleaded guilty to several charges, including four counts of manslaughter.
On the day of the crash, he had spent more than 12 hours drinking, and he was three times over the legal limit when he hit the children.
He also had cocaine and other drugs in his system.
The court heard that immediately after the crash Davidson, who was uninjured, said: "What have I done? I've killed people. I'm going to jail."
Judge Bennett sentenced Davidson to a "substantial" jail term of 28 years.
He will be eligible for parole in 2041.
