This is the shocking moment a driver high on drink and drugs smashed into a taxi at 90mph killing two women and a six-year-old boy. CCTV footage shows the moment the grey BMW ploughed into the white Ford.
A devastated husband admits he stormed out of court in 'disgust' upon hearing the ‘lenient’ sentence for the drink driver who killed his wife, a taxi driver, and a fostered six-year-old boy.
The two women were killed instantly when Tyler ploughed into their car, with little Leo dying in hospital from multiple injuries the following day. Tyler, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to 18 years at Worcester Crown Court on Monday, August 5 over the fatal collision. Drunken Joe-Lewis Tyler smashed his grey BMW into a taxi at 90mph killing two women and six-year-old Leo Painter on Spetchley Road, Worcester

A friend of Leo's devastated mother Gemma said: 'What an absolute joke. Just 18 years but probably only 12 which is four years for each life he took.Leo's heartbroken mother Gemma , 28, paid tribute to her 'wonderful' son, adding: 'I hope he can live with the fact he killed three innocent people'
'He loved PAW Patrol and I gave him a pair of pyjamas with his favourite characters on. He said he loved wearing"Mummy's pyjamas".' The court heard his passenger Mr Smith-Green also suffered serious injuries including a damaged spleen and dislocated hip.
