A man under the influence of drugs while driving crashed into a car and injured a four-year-old boy and his family. Michael Stanley, 33, collided with an oncoming car after he overtook one vehicle on a bend the A493 near Tywyn.
Stanley, who did not have a driving licence, had been driving up to 90mph on a rural road with a 60mph limit. He admitted to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was jailed for two years by a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court.
The incident occurred on last year's August bank holiday weekend. Prosecutor Maria Masselis told the court that the family had visited the Cae Du campsite, between Fairbourne and Tywyn, with their two sons, and were driving in their white BMW car at about 8.45pm when the crash occurred, North Wales Live reports.
