An innocent driver's Ford Focus estate "exploded into pieces" in a high-speed smash which left his partner seriously injured. The shocked casualty, a long-time carer, had been in the front seat which snapped due to the force of the crash.
She ended up in the back seat and was cut free from what was left of the vehicle by a fire crew. Nottingham Crown Court heard a Volkswagen Golf, driven by Kyle Bradley and speeding at 70mph and 90mph, had hit the Ford Focus on October 30, 2019.
The carer was being driven to her night shift at 9.20pm by her partner when the horrific accident happened in Watnall Road, Hucknall. Whilst Bradley ran off, dumping the Volkswagen, the injured carer had suffered a small bleed to her brain and stomach, and painful tissue damage to her shoulder.
