Teen Driver Jailed for Crash Leaving Mother Paralyzed
George Taylor, a 19-year-old driver, was sentenced to 26 months in a young offender institution for causing a catastrophic crash that left Catherine Davies, a mother, paralyzed from the neck down. On January 18, 2023, Taylor used his phone multiple times, including making calls and filming himself steering with his knees, while driving on the A47 to college. He failed to notice Catherine's Skoda Fabia waiting to turn, resulting in a crash that led to her cardiac arrest and lifelong paralysis. The incident, described as a 'split-second' devastation, highlights the severe consequences of distracted driving. Taylor, who had only held his driving license for less than 12 weeks, was also banned from driving for 40 months and must retake an extended driving test. Catherine's family hopes sharing her story will raise awareness of the dangers of using mobile phones while driving.
