He was trapped between two parked cars
A spectator was left with catastrophic injuries and had to have his left leg amputated after a car lost control during an illegal meeting in Nottinghamshire. The collision on the A6097 in Bingham on June 3, 2018, left the man with fractures to his neck, shoulder blade, spine and pelvis.
"I hadn’t really considered the risks involved until what happened to me. I wish it hadn’t taken something like this to make me realise the risks - but unfortunately it did. The unofficial car meets have no rules, some people just go to show off their modified cars but there is also racing where some people are dangerous.
Following a week-long trial at Nottingham Crown Court earlier this year, King, of Norwich Gardens, Bulwell, was found guilty of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. On Wednesday he was jailed for two years and six months.
