Horrifying moment a teenage driver distracted by his phone ploughs into an elderly pensioner, 82, leaving him with catastrophic injuries *** The is the horrific moment a pensioner is thrown into the air after a teenage driver ploughed into him as he crossed the road. Arthur Bamsey, 82, has been left with catastrophic injuries including damage to his brain after he was struck by a car whose driver was distracted by his mobile. Guilty motorist Ryan Niner, 19, was trying to ring his mother as he drove his Mini Cooper through a Welsh town centre, and didn't see the pensioner trying to cross the road. His car struck Bamsey and sent the elderly man flying into the air, before landing on his head and suffering serious and life-changing injuries. The sickening collision was captured on CCTV, and shows the pensioner trying to walk across the two-way road before Niner's car hit him. The teenager, who was 18 when the accident happened, was trying to call his mum but went straight to voicemail and terminated the call. Just seconds later he drove straight into Bamsey, who was on his way from home in Port Talbot to its town centre to pick up Fairy cakes and the morning newspaper. Passers by, including an off-duty nurse, ran to his aid and called for an ambulance. The former steelworker was left severely injured, and spent five months in intensive care at the University Hospital of Wales before being transferred to Neath Port Talbot Hospital, where he remains 11 months later. Niner, from Port Talbot, was arrested by police and pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving after the collision on January 28 this year. | DailyMail
