Teen drives with knees before crashing into woman

Newly released footage shows a teenage motorist filming himself driving with his knees before he crashed into a woman's car, leaving her paralysed from the neck down.

George Taylor, 19, used his mobile phone "throughout his journey" to college and eventually crashed on the A47 near Norwich, police said.

The victim, a woman in her 40s, was left unable to speak or breathe independently after the collision in January 2023.

At Norwich Crown Court on Monday, Taylor, from Pymoor near Ely, Cambridgeshire, was sentenced to 26 months in a young offender institution, having previously admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
