A motorcyclist’s life was saved by the quick-thinking actions of a passer-by after a man driving home from Alton Towers had crashed into him. However, due to the severity of his injuries the victim had to have a leg amputated, Derby Crown Court heard.
The keen gardener, who was riding a vintage Royal Enfield, told how the amputation had resulted in him having to sell all of his motorbikes. In a victim impact statement, he added that the collision had affected every aspect of his life, including making the home he has shared with his wife for 36 years “wholly unsuitable” to live in.
The hearing was also told how father-of-one Joshua Nawab, whose Mercedes had straddled the centre line when it hit the victim’s motorbike, had tried in vain to save the lives of two teenagers who died after being swept out to sea in Blackpool just months earlier, reports DerbyshireLive.
