‘Coward’ driver ignored years of warnings and ruined three young lives during trip to McDonald’s

Liverpool: A tragic incident unfolded when a driver, Anthony Campbell, ignored years of warnings and caused a horrific crash. He was on his way to McDonald’s with friends when he plowed into their car, leaving three young people seriously injured.

Campbell had a long history of driving offenses but still chose to get behind the wheel. He ran a red light at high speed, hitting the victims’ Audi and sending it crashing into a lamppost. After the crash, he fled the scene, leaving his friends in dire condition.

The victims included Ciara Morgan, Olivia Smith, and Ellis Hayes, all of whom suffered severe injuries. Ciara was driving and ended up with a fractured sacrum and a broken nose. Olivia, a university student, faced multiple fractures and needed help with daily tasks. Ellis had a bleed on the brain and other serious injuries.

Campbell eventually called the police but only after trying to escape. He admitted to being the driver but showed little remorse. His past included several convictions for dangerous driving, and this incident only added to his record.

In court, Campbell’s defense claimed he panicked after the crash but acknowledged he was speeding and ran a red light. The judge was not lenient, sentencing him to over three years in prison and banning him from driving for several years.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of reckless driving. The lives of the victims have been forever changed, and Campbell’s actions will haunt him and his family as well.
