Speaking outside Wolverhampton Crown Court after driver Dhiya Al Maamoury was jailed for thirteen and a half years, Damian Corfield said Ben, aged 19 when he died in November two years ago, was the 'very foundation the family lived for'.
Holding onto his wife Lynette and daughter Shannon he slammed Al Maamoury for his 'brazen' actions and said he had lied at the first instance and entered a not guilty plea.
He said: "He has stolen our future and served us all a life sentence from which there is no end. The impact this has had on me, my wife and daughter cannot really be put into words, it feels like there is very little left to live for.
"The judge said nobody should have to see their own children go before them and in Ben's case we had waited so long for him to complete our little family.
