A spectator was left with catastrophic injuries and had to have his left leg amputated after a car lost control during an illegal meeting in Nottinghamshire. The collision on the A6097 in Bingham on June 3, 2018, left the man with fractures to his neck, shoulder blade, spine and pelvis.
His left leg had to be amputated because of serious open fractures. The horrific injuries were caused after driver Craig King lost control of his car whilst attempting an undertake at an illegal car meet. King did this whilst he was racing around a roundabout. His Mini-Cooper collided with a Volkswagen Golf which was shunted onto a ‘splitter island’ between the entry and exit lanes to the roundabout at Bingham.
A group of car enthusiasts had gathered for the unauthorised meeting on this area and, as the car mounted the kerb, it crashed into another car parked on the 'island' which trapped a pedestrian between two of the parked cars.
