He admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was jailed for two years and eight months, and was banned from driving for a total of three years and four months.

The crash happened at the Sandbeds junction with Brighouse Road on May 11 last year.

An innocent pedestrian came within a couple of metres at the most of being “squashed” between the HGV and a house wall.

Police have now released video footage of the crash following his sentencing.
