A DRINK-DRIVER ran over a little boy on his bike and ignored pleas that the child was trapped beneath the vehicle.
Keith Vernon has been jailed for two and half years after the traumatic incident in which the 10-year-old victim was seriously injured.
The boy, from Pulborough, had been cycling along Church Street, West Chiltington, with his father and another adult when he was struck from behind by a black Renault Twingo.
The impact caused him to flip over his handlebars and onto the road, where the car continued to drive over him.

Members of the public, including the two other cyclists, desperately tried to warn the driver the boy was trapped beneath his vehicle, but he ignored their pleas.
