Overview
- Nottingham Crown Court jailed 41-year-old Callum Knott for four years and disqualified him from driving for seven years after his guilty pleas.
- Prosecutors said he drove angrily, clipping an Audi carrying a woman and three 12-year-old girls and forcing it across the central reservation into a head-on collision with Stephen Kerry.
- Kerry, 65, remains in hospital after multiple surgeries including an above-the-knee amputation three weeks after the crash, and he can no longer care for his wife.
- Knott fled the scene, handed himself in two days later, and later admitted additional offences from earlier that day for slashing his ex-partner’s car tyres with a knife.
- The court heard he has 17 previous convictions for 39 offences and that other victims were injured, including the Audi driver who suffered leg and ankle fractures.
