'Horror pictures of smashed up Audi A6 which ploughed into two girls on - Grimsby Telegraph
Adam Hill, 35, was driving on the wrong side of the road in his £32,000 Audi A6 when he smashed into a Ford Fiesta carrying pals Beth Tyson and Kate Hunter. Miss Hunter, now 20, suffered life-changing injuries and had to abandon her dream of competing in the Paralympics following the crash, while Miss Tyson now walks with a stick and needs a wheelchair for all but short journeys. Hill, of Grimsby Road, Caistor, was last month found guilty of two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving after a week-long trial at Lincoln Crown Court. The court heard Hill was "distracted" and "stressed" after losing his position at a Sheffield Porsche dealership following an allegation of theft, and had sent a text message asking a friend for a job. Passing sentence, Judge John Pini QC said: "These two young girls had their lives ruined for the rest of their lives. Judge Pini said it was clear Hill was consumed by the fact that he had been falsely accused of theft and his career seemed in tatters. "Your world had just imploded," Judge Pini told Hill. As he was taken from court to the cells to begin his sentence, Hill mouthed: "I'm sorry" to his two victims who were in court to watch. Source: www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk
