Harry Summersgill s badly damaged Mercedes In his victim personal statement, his father said: Noah was exactly where he was meant to be that morning, in front of his dad listening to instructions on how to keep him safe - you Harry were not. You were too caught up in your own selfish act of self-destruction to even care about the consequences of your actions, for anyone or anything. Seeing my little Noah disappear before my eyes in an explosion of metal and glass as you drove that car into my defenceless son. Seeing Noah laid lifeless with the clothes ripped from his body, broken, bloodied and deadly still; his eyes wide with no signs of life will be and forever be a traumatising image that will disturb me forever.
