Drunk, 140mph, and on his mobile phone | Driver who killed baby and aunty arrested and jailed
Darryl Anderson was more than twice the drink drive limit when he hit the Peugeot 308 that eight-month-old Zackary Blades and his auntie, 30-year-old Karlene Warner, were travelling in on the A1(M) in the early hours of Friday, May 31.
The pair sustained fatal injuries and tragically died at the scene.
When breathalysed at the roadside, Anderson blew 95mg - the legal limit for driving with alcohol in your system is 35mg.
Forensic examinations of his mobile phone also found that the 38-year-old had been repeatedly making calls and sending texts throughout his journey from Newcastle Airport right up until the time of the collision, which happened at 3.18am on the A1(M) between Chester-le-Street and Bowburn.
He took a photo of his dashboard moments before the collision which showed the car’s speedometer at 141mph.
He initially denied the offences, telling officers that he had picked up a hitchhiker outside the airport and had allowed him to drive his car.
However, his story was disproved by investigators, and he pleaded guilty to both counts.
Zackary’s mam, Shalorna Warner, was driving the Peugeot at the time of the collision after picking her sister, Karlene, up from Newcastle Airport.
She bravely stood up in court today and recalled the moment her baby, Zackary, was found by a lorry driver on the opposite side of the carriageway after his chair was flung from the car.
“I had to pick my dead baby up from the side of the road. I hugged him so tight, a hug I will never forget.
“My baby’s future, my future, our life together, has been stolen from me. I won’t ever see him look up and smile at me again. I won’t have that luxury. Instead, every second of every day I relive that night over and over again in my head, thinking what did my innocent little boy do to deserve this?
“And for my sister, Karlene, I just have no words. I am so sorry this happened to you. It’s hard to process something that doesn’t seem real - it just feels like I am living a nightmare.
“I will feel the ripples of this pain for the rest of my life. I don’t know if I will be able to get through this - I am scarred, I am traumatised, I am petrified to live my life.
“The impact of these events will amplify the hard times and taint any good moment I may possibly have, because within my heart lives Zackary and Karlene, and I will never live a normal life again without them.”
Addressing the judge, she said: “Your Honour, I stand before you today a broken shell of a woman and a childless mother. But this guilt is not mine to bear - this guilt is owed to the person that caused this infinite agony. I hope the pain of this weighs them down for all eternity.
“Nothing will bring my son and my sister back to me. The only way forward for myself is if the defendant faces the same sentence I am facing - life. The irony of it all is that I will never see my loved ones again, but he will.”
Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Constable Natalie Horner, of Durham Constabulary’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “As roads policing officers, we routinely ask people not to drive above the speed limit. We routinely ask people not to use their mobile phones while driving. And we routinely ask people not to get behind the wheel while intoxicated.
“Darryl Anderson was doing all three of those things when he collided with Shalorna Warner’s car, killing both passengers, Karlene and baby Zackary.
“For his actions, Anderson has been sentenced to more than 17 years in prison, but it is his victims and their family who have been handed life sentences.
“It is them who will spend the rest of their lives grieving the loss of their son, their grandchild, their wife, their sister, and their mother.
“And for what?”
She added: “I would like to take this moment to pass on our sincere gratitude to those who have been affected by this tragic incident.
“To the witnesses who came upon this scene in the middle of the night, and showed incredible bravery in how they acted, but who should never have had to witness or intervene in such things in the first place.
“To our police officers and emergency services colleagues who responded to this incident, both in the immediate aftermath and throughout the investigation, and who will carry with them the effects of this crash for the rest of their lives.
“And to Shalorna and her family, who have shown truly unbelievable strength and humility throughout this ordeal, under the most horrific circumstances, and who must now attempt to rebuild their lives in the wake of their loss.
“Darryl Anderson’s name should now become a footnote in this tragic story.
“The names we should remember, and the people who should remain in our thoughts, are Karlene and Zackary, and their remarkable family.”

    I remember getting stopped on a random police check, shortly after having one whisky, although it was a house measure. I never even thought it would be a problem until the policeman said his colleague would breathalyse me. I was certain I was ok, but the wait while it was checked??? It came back ok, I wasn't told what if anything had registered, but after that, I never went near alcohol if I was going out. I wouldn't be surprised if drink driving is as bad as it ever has been, as you rarely see the police these days; well that is until you don't want to then they seem to be everywhere.

    It wasn’t a bad choice to be on his phone. It was an arrogant careless choice and took the death of three and a dog to show how stupid it is. And there will be plenty of people that will not learn from this even after watching this video. And then there’s the police and other emergency services that are confronted by what has happened that we all forget about. So many victims in this one selfish act.
