A FIFTEEN-year-old boy drove over and injured the same teenage pedestrian during two separate incidents captured on chilling mobile phone footage filmed by passengers.

Harvey Oliver, then aged 19, was walking on a pavement at Elmfield Road in Brampton just after 5pm on 27th May last year when he was struck from behind by a Volkswagen and suffered a broken right foot. The incident was reported to police two days after he showed his dad video footage recorded from inside the car which was circulated on social media.

That footage, uploaded to TikTok, was shown at Carlisle Crown Court was today (fri).

“I was genuinely scared for my life,” Mr Oliver later said. “I thought he was going to reverse and come back for me.”

The youth did strike Mr Oliver again, months later, on 19th August while on bail, when he was illegally behind the wheel of an Audi. This mounted a pavement on Brampton’s Carlisle Road, which the youth crossed deliberately before hitting Mr Oliver at speed.

Mr Oliver — thrown on to the bonnet and roof — was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital. His injuries included an undisplaced fracture of a bone linking the skull and vertebral column.

That incident was filmed by a 15-year-old car passenger who was also brought to court. The chilling footage was found on that young passenger’s phone and showed the vehicle being driven at speed towards an oblivious Mr Oliver. “It makes no attempt to stop following the collision, even after the windscreen smashes upon the car hitting him,” said prosecutor Tim Evans.

When arrested, the young driver claimed, falsely: “I haven’t even been in Brampton.”

He later admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving on 27th May, and both boys — then aged 15 and now 16 — admitted attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent during the August incident.

Initially they faced an attempted murder charge which was later withdrawn by the prosecution.

Karl Volz, defending, said the young driver carried out “impulsive” acts, had a troubled upbringing and was vulnerable, adding: “He deeply regrets what he did.”

Judge Nicholas Barker imposed a 24-month youth detention and training order (DTTO), and four-year driving ban. The DTTO means he will spend half his sentence in secure accommodation before being on licence in the community and required to attend youth offending team appointments.

Judge Barker described the first incident as a “highly dangerous act”, adding of the second incident involving Mr Oliver: “He could easily have been killed or paralysed.”
