“This collision occurred due to Boldescu driving whilst under the influence of drink and drugs. These substances impaired his ability to think rationally and severally hindered his ability to drive.
“His selfish actions on that Sunday afternoon has left a man with life lasting injuries, requiring him long term care.
“The victims’ lives and those of their families have been tipped upside down due to Boldescu deciding to drive in that state.
“I hope this sentence today serves as a reminder to people who chose to drive in such a manner that there are consequences not only for them but for others too.”
Mr Serrao, the driver of the Nissan Leaf, said: “To the person who was driving the car that hit me that day, I cannot say that I am ready to forgive you, yet. Your reckless actions have put me through hell in the last six months, something I wouldn’t wish upon even my worst enemy.
“While I may not know if you intended to harm anyone that day, I hope that this incident serves as a valuable lesson and a warning to others who choose to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
“Regardless of how careful a driver may be, it is crucial to remember that our actions on the road can have dire consequences when interacting with other drivers.”
