Shocking footage shows the horrific aftermath of a crash where a cocaine driver ploughed into a six-year-old boy as he enjoyed an early morning cycle with his dad.
Harry Summersgill, 24, was under the influence of the class A drug when he smashed into little Noah Herring in Eaglescliffe, County Durham.
After hitting the schoolboy with his white Mercedes Benz he crashed into a bus stop - he was driving at more than double the 30mph speed limit.
Teesside Crown Court heard Summersgill stood back and did nothing to help injured Noah who suffered a bleed on the brain.
He was also under the influence of cannabis and ketamine, Teeside Live reports.
Brave Noah, now seven, was rushed to hospital where he also sustained fractures to his lower left leg and his collarbone.
Fortunately, he is not expected to have suffered any long term physical effects from the injuries.
The harrowing video clip, which includes footage from the Go Pro Camera on Noah's dad's bike, shows the aftermath of the 7am crash on February 28.
Noah's family have given permission for it to be released to highlight the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs.
During the clip Noah's distraught dad can be heard making a distressing call for help as he attempts to comfort his crying son.
As Summersgill is arrested by officers he shamelessly asks "Don't you think that's harsh?" as he sits in the back of the police van.
Inspector Dave Williams, from the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit, said: "Noah and James were out riding their bikes and having a pleasant morning when Harry Summersgill, knowingly under the influence of a cocktail of drugs, drove his car and struck Noah at high speed.
"Noah’s family know how lucky they were that day; the outcome could have been much worse and we’re all thankful that it wasn’t.
"There will be increased activity and an increased focus on drug driving throughout the two-week National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) campaign, although police will continue to tackle the issue all year round.
"To anyone who may get into their car with the intention of driving whilst under the influence; I would urge you to watch this footage and see the horrendous circumstances for yourself.
"No driver should ever take risks like these. It is unacceptable and we won’t tolerate anyone who takes drugs or drinks alcohol and gets behind the wheel of their vehicle.
"Our message is simple. Don’t do it."
Summersgill was jailed for three years at Teesside Crown Court in May after he admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving at a previous hearing.
The court in Middlesbrough heard how Noah and his dad had been on an early morning bike ride with his dad James to Preston Park when the collision occurred.
Sue Hirst, prosecuting, said Mr Herring had planned out the route carefully to make sure Noah, who was wearing his helmet and high visibility vest, was safe.
She explained how the pair were cycling in the cycle lane on Yarm Road, when Mr Herring heard a noise from behind him which sounded like a speeding car.
Ms Hirst said that he looked over his shoulder and saw a Mercedes speeding towards the two of them.
She said: "It was travelling across the bus lane and in the cycle path.
"Mr Herring heard a bang and heard the car crash into the bus shelter, taking Noah with it.
"There was dust and debris and initially Mr Herring could not see where his son was.
"He realised Noah was on the ground. He thought that he had not survived."
Following the collision, Summersgill described the crash as a "simple accident" and admitted having cocaine still in his nose.
But in a statement, Noah's dad told Summersgill that he turned his back on him and Noah, not caring if he was alive or dead.
Mr Herring said: "Noah was exactly where he was supposed to be that morning in front of his dad listening to instructions.
"You Harry however were not, you were too caught up in your own selfish act of self-destruction to care about the consequences of your actions for anyone or anything around you."
The court heard how Summersgill was found to be driving under the influence of cocaine, cannabis and ketamine.
Paul Green, defending, told the court: "Remorse has been demonstrated within the case."
Following the collision earlier this year, Noah was presented with a new bike.
PC Natalie Horner worked on the case as part of the Collision Investigation Team, and as a good will gesture she contacted Kona Bikes to ask if they could assist Noah with a replacement.
Scott Belshaw, of Kona Bikes, immediately set to work as soon as he heard what had happened.
He made and personally delivered the bike, completely free of charge, as a surprise for Noah at the Cleveland and Durham Specialists Operations Unit in Wynyard.
PC Horner said: "Noah deserves something nice after the difficult time he had earlier this year.
"He was very concerned that his ‘pride and joy’ had been ruined after the collision and I thought it would be great if he could get a replacement."
