A woman who lost her mum in a horror 118mph crash bravely addressed the killer driver in court. Amanda Holmes, who survived the smash, told Trent Simm that the speed he was driving was "unbelievably disgusting" and that her mother "never stood a chance".
Simm, 25, pled guilty to causing the death of Doris Bridgehouse by dangerous driving, as well as causing serious injury to Ms Holmes and his own passenger, Aaron Scott, in the collision in Littleborough, Greater Manchester, on May 13.
The dad-of-one sat in Minshull Street Crown Court with his head bowed for much of the sentencing hearing on Tuesday, including the testimonies of Amanda and her son Max, who was also involved in the smash, Manchester Evening News reports.
During the emotional proceedings, Judge Neil Usher heard that Simm had been driving at 118mph - almost four times the 30mph limit - ahead of the deadly crash. Amanda, then aged 55, Doris, and Max, then 21, were driving home after celebrating Max having completed his degree at the University of Salford.
The court heard that Amanda was knocked out by the impact and required months of hospital treatment in the aftermath, with her brain injuries still affecting her daily life. Max, although injured, was able to crawl out of the car, though his grandmother, Doris, sadly passed away.
Directly addressing her mother's killer, Ms Holmes, a nurse, said: "My mum’s life was tragically taken away from her family by you, Trent Simm. She was a fabulous person. I have been robbed of my goodbye.
"She was a lovely lady and the most colourful person in the room. Everyone loved her care and disposition. We never ended the day without saying I love you. We loved each other unconditionally and did so many things together.
"I was so
