A drunk driver who left a mother and daughter with devastating injuries in a horrific 60mph crash flicked the middle finger as he walked free from court.

Tattooist Scott Roe, 39, ploughed his Mercedes CLA220 into an Audi after he 'got bored' of travelling behind another car which was sticking to the 30mph speed limit.

Emergency crews dashed to Heath Road, in Bedworth, Warks., following the horror crash on July 13 last year.

Roe escaped unhurt but the driver of the Audi, Chelsea Sidwell, 19, and her mother Kelly Merridew, 39, were trapped in the wreckage for two hours.

Chelsea suffered a smashed left knee, ankle and toes, as well as ligament damage and was in wheelchair for seven weeks following the crash.

Her mother suffered a shattered pelvis, a dislocated right knee and a badly bruised shoulder.
