Billy Monger receives the Helen Rollason award at the Sports Personality of the Year 2018. The young driver has had both his legs amputated following a crash during a Formula 4 race back in 2017.
This is the carnage after ex-racing driver Billy Monger smashed into three parked cars and demolished a garden wall in a leafy Surrey neighbourhood.
A silver VW Golf and a red Citroen belonging to the homeowners – who declined to talk about the crash and who MailOnline is not naming – can be seen covered in dust from the smash, with the red vehicle's bumper caved in and almost falling off. 'Thankfully, no one was in the road at the time otherwise this could have had far more serious consequences.'
'…I thought I'm not going to go out there, because there was about probably 20 people out there from the neighbours. He left the scene of the 11.55pm crash with his female passenger before police arrived, but later returned to provide his insurance details and reported he had been driving the car. The witness estimated Monger, who last year appeared on the BBC's Race Across the World programme, was driving at between 40mph and 50mph at the time, because it caused his own car to 'shake' as he zoomed past, with another witness describing hearing a 'loud raging engine'.
The prosecutor added: 'This was a damage-only four vehicle road collision involving a black Toyota Supra driven by this defendant and a silver VW Lupo, a silver VW Golf and a red Citroen.' The VW Lupo had damage to a rear wheel arch; there was damage to the front bumper of the Golf and rear wing damage and dents to the Citroen.
