A drunk driver who killed a baby and his auntie when he slammed into the back of their car at 141mph while on his phone has been jailed.
Darryl Anderson was more than
twice the drink drive limit when he hit the Peugeot 308 that eight-month-old Zackary Blades and his auntie, 30-year-old Karlene Warner, were travelling in on the A1(M) in the early hours of Friday, May 31.
The pair sustained fatal injuries and tragically died at the scene.
When breathalysed at the roadside, Anderson blew 95mg – the legal limit for driving with alcohol in your system is 35mg.
Forensic examinations of his mobile phone also found that the 38-year-old had been repeatedly making calls and sending texts throughout his journey from Newcastle Airport right up until the time of the collision, which happened at 3.18am on the A1(M) between Chester-le-Street and Bowburn.
He took a photo of his dashboard moments before the collision which showed the car’s speedometer at 141mph.
Anderson, of Thorpe Hesley, Rotherham, was arrested at the scene and charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
He initially denied the offences, telling officers that he had picked up a hitchhiker outside the airport and had allowed him to drive his car.
He claimed to have fallen asleep during the journey and only woke up at the point of the collision.
However, his story was disproved by investigators, and he pleaded guilty to both counts.
He appeared at Durham Crown Court today (July 9) where he was sentenced to 17 years and three months in prison.
He was also banned from driving for 21-and-a-half years.
Zackary’s mam, Shalorna Warner, was driving the Peugeot at the time of the collision after picking her sister, Karlene, up from Newcastle Airport.
She bravely stood up in court today and recalled the moment her baby, Zackary, was found by a lorry driver on the opposite side of the carriageway after his chair was flung from the car.

Reports have suggested police were chasing a number of off road bikes.
A thief who stole an elderly man’s car before running him over and dragging him down the road has been jailed.
On Saturday (March 16) the victim was returning to his home in Bishop Auckland when he parked his car outside of his house to unlock the gates.
As he left the vehicle, Aiden Kenny creeped into the car and began reversing it off the drive towards the main road.
In an attempt to stop Kenny, the victim held onto the driver’s door and asked him to get out which he ignored and began accelerating.
As he did, the victim was dragged from his house, all the way down the road before falling from the car.
The elderly victim was left in the middle of the road but was quickly attended to by nearby residents who called for an ambulance.
He was later taken to hospital with a bleed on the brain.
Meanwhile, Kenny made off from the scene and drove at speed towards Witton Park, he eventually lost control of the vehicle and crashed on Sloshes Lane.
When officers arrived Kenny was stood near to the stolen vehicle, he refused medical assistance from officers and instead became irate and spat at them and hurled abuse.
The 22-year-old, of no fixed abode, was taken to hospital and later charged with Section 18, grievous bodily harm with intent, dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking without consent and two counts of assault on an emergency worker.
He appeared at Durham Crown Court yesterday morning and was sentenced to 40 months in prison.
