This is almost like a "National" news story; but will place in the "World" section.
Do I understand, the driver who caused this was a "driving" instructor? And this happened in a road rage pursuit BUT he wasn't chasing the car with the two little girls in it but some other vehicle. Quite a horror. The sentence should be more harsh, just like that affluent teen driver story. Only 4 and a half years. 10 years prison and no parole would seem to be more just. Attempted Murder?
Driver Andrew Nay jailed for paralysing sisters in 'road rage' crash
A driving instructor who left two young sisters paralysed after a "road rage" crash in Northamptonshire has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Andrew Nay, 39, crashed his Land Rover into the girls' family car as he made a right turn across oncoming traffic on the A509 near Wellingborough.
Katrina Raiba, now six, and her sister Karlina, eight, were left paralysed from the waist down.
The girls' parents said they would "never be able to forgive" Nay.
Northampton Crown Court was told Nay, a Jaguar Land Rover manager and off-road driving instructor, was tailgating and "bullying" a woman who had been driving a Mazda.
To get away from him during his pursuit in October last year, she safely turned right onto the B547 towards Little Harrowden.
Nay, who was seen laughing with his male passenger, undertook a Mercedes and then, in an attempt to follow the Mazda, made an "absolutely ridiculous" turn, the court heard.
He hit the family's Vauxhall Signum that was travelling along the A509 in the opposite direction.
The girls' parents, Roberts Raibais and Renate Raiba, released a statement saying: "Andrew Nay's reckless actions had devastating consequences for our two beautiful daughters.
