A young driver's decision to use his mobile phone while driving led to a tragic accident where a mother was left paraplegic and in need of constant care. The incident highlights the severe consequences of distracted driving.
A mother's life has been completely devastated after she was left paraplegic and needing round-the-clock care by a teen driver , who filmed himself overtaking vehicles while driving with his knees. Catherine Davies, a fitness instructor at the time, was left paraplegic by George Taylor, a teenager who had been using his phone in the car.
Taylor used his mobile phone 'throughout the journey' to college and held his license for less than 12 weeks when he crashed into Davies's car on the A47 near Norwich. Davies is now unable to speak or breathe independently and relies on round-the-clock care in a specially adapted property fitted with life-support equipment. She can no longer hug her 10-year-old son. Sergeant Callum Walchester said, 'George Taylor made multiple decisions to use his mobile phone that day and in doing so put himself and everyone else at significant risk. It was Catherine who has paid the price.
