The father of Cerys Edwards has revealed she nearly died recently because of disabilities caused by speeding driver Antonio Boparan – who is now starting his second jail sentence.
Gareth Edwards spoke to the Mail as the man who left his daughter brain damaged and paralysed was jailed for another 12 months for his involvement in a Birmingham bar fight, which left one man blind.
Boparan was just 19 when his dangerous driving nearly killed Cerys in November 2006. He crashed a powerful Range Rover Sport into her parents’ car as he drove at more than 70mph on the wrong side of the 30mph Streetly Lane in Sutton Coldfield.
The family had been returning home from delivering Christmas presents with the youngster, who was about to celebrate her first birthday.
Now Boparan has been jailed for his part in an attack on two men at Brindleyplace’s Nuvo Bar last April. The victims were hospitalised after being punched, kicked and hit with broken bottles.
Builder Gareth said: “Before Christmas Cerys was very poorly and was on the edge of life. Thankfully, new medicines appear to have worked and Cerys is 100 per cent better than she was, but she remains in hospital.
“Although her condition has now improved I’m fully aware she will die from the injuries that were caused by Antonio Boparan and I know there’s no medical cure for the serious brain and spinal injuries she suffered.
“Cerys is nine-years-old now and the experts have always given her a life expectancy of 14. It is likely that she will not reach that age. She has deteriorated a lot in the last 18 months and it breaks my heart to know that there is nothing I can do.
