A dad who ploughed into a man trying to cross the road had more than seven times the legal limit of cocaine in his blood.
Allan Breen also had his son in the car as he crashed into Paul Tyler on Prescot Road last year, putting him in hospital for four weeks. The 43 year old, who is already serving a sentence for drug offences, was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court today.
Amber Owen, who was driving directly in front of Breen before the accident but swerved to avoid Mr Tyler directly before Breen crashed into him, has been fined for careless driving. Charlotte Atherton, prosecuting, said Breen and Owen both stopped at a red light next to each other on the evening of April 14 before driving off at speed when it turned green.
