A teenager who was knocked off his moped by a speeding driver has been permanently disabled and not left hospital since the crash. Kyle Smith, 17, from Sandiacre, was riding his moped when he was hit by a Seat Ibiza close to the junction of London Road and Warwick Street in Derby in September 2021.
The driver, Isaac Yearby, 22, of Alvaston, Derby, was jailed for 28 months at a hearing at Derby Crown Court on Tuesday (February 7). He previously pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving, after the court heard that he had been travelling at a speed of 60mph in a 30mph zone at the time of the incident.
Kyle's family has now revealed the devastating impact his injuries have had on his life, as reported by Derbyshire Live. As a result of the incident, Kyle suffered a severely traumatic injury to the brain and has remained in a disordered state of consciousness.
