A thug who lured a pizza delivery driver into an ambush and robbed his car at knifepoint remains on crutches months after smashing it into a tree.
Adam Challoner, 26, was hospitalised for three weeks after being pulled from the destroyed Vauxhall Astra on Netherley Road, Tarbock Green, on April 28 this year. The crash, which was not witnessed and involved no other vehicles, came only eight minutes after the terrifying robbery on Hastie Close in Netherley, Liverpool Crown Court heard today.
The driver, named in court as Mr Ellis, was sent to deliver the pizza after a call from Challoner's mobile phone to a takeaway at 10.10pm that night. However, as Mr Ellis pulled up, he was approached by Challoner, of Bechers, Widnes, who snatched his car keys from his hand.
