After leaving a party with 8 others in his five-seater SUV, Mithias Te Pou crashed during a police chase.
His cousin died and his partner was made a paraplegic.
Others in the car were also seriously injured.
Earlier in the night, Te Pou had consumed drugs and alcohol - and was found to be more than twice the legal limit for someone on a full licence.
He was unlicensed.
