A BMW driver was racing through Sunderland city centre before he smashed into another motorist and seriously injured them.
Lloyd Hepurker was seen by witnesses racing another motorist at high speed near the Wearmouth Bridge at around 6pm on September 28, 2019. But as the 34-year-old went round a bend, he spun his BMW out of control, smashing through a barrier and into a woman who was driving a car.
Hepurker smashed into the back of the woman's vehicle and she later had to be cut out of the car by firefighters. But the crash caused lasting damage to the woman, who suffered seizures following the incident and was left in a "constant state of confusion". The victim also claims to have seen a complete change in her character, resulting in the breakdown of her relationship and working life.
