Pc Anneka Morgan, from the West Midlands Police serious collision investigation unit, said: “The excess speed and the sheer dangerousness of the driving demonstrated by all three drivers in this case is totally unacceptable. The consequences of what happened that night are simply tragic and have left a man with life-changing injuries.

“These young men were egging each other along while driving recklessly. Despite only one car being involved in the physical collision, we’ve been able to prove that their joint actions meant they were all culpable.

“An innocent man has been left with horrific injuries from which he will never completely recover. We hope that today’s sentences send a clear message that competitive racing is not acceptable. It’s dangerous and has devastating consequences. What these youngsters naively saw as fun has led to very serious repercussions.

“Our message is clear, driving like this is dangerous and illegal."
