A driver who was racing a friend to Tesco ploughed into his car and left one of his passengers with serious head injuries.
Thomas Henwood was going well over the speed limit on Southport’s Sussex Road when he botched an attempt to overtake another car and crashed into it, causing his car to flip over. The soft top of his Mazda MX5 convertible crumpled inwards during the crash, leaving friend Harrison Povey, who was in the passenger seat, with a head injury that required 47 staples to be inserted into his skull.
The 21-year-old was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court today after a judge said his driving could have easily killed someone.
