The force of the collision led to the driver losing consciousness, having to be cut free from the Ford Focus and was left with a bleed to the brain.
“The driver was rendered unconscious and her lasting memory is of your car mounting her bonnet. Their lives have been affected greatly by your criminal behaviour." The prosecutor said: “One of the victims estimates his car to be travelling at around 60mph and appeared not to even notice their vehicle or to brake to avoid a collision.“The passenger managed to roll out of the car and recalled feeling a burning sensation like she had been crushed.
The prosecutor said both women were taken to hospital where the fractured ribs and a bleed to the bowel were found on the passenger and a bleed to the brain on the driver. “I now struggle with basic tasks such as eating and bathing and what happened still haunts me to this day.”
