Killer went to bed and left boy, 15, to die in the road alone

A heartbroken mum has spoken of the "unimaginable pain" of losing her "incredible son" in a hit and run.

Jack Jones was cycling to his aunt's house on April 26 last year when he was killed by Leo Meek, who was speeding at up to 55mph along a 30mph residential street. Meek, 22, didn't even slow down after Jack was thrown into the air on Manor Drive in Upton and suffered fatal injuries.

Instead, Meek left the scene, ditching his friend's dad's car before getting a taxi home, where he went to bed. He was jailed for 40 months in August after pleading guilty to failing to stop at the scene of the collision and causing death by dangerous driving.
