A mum whose son was knocked off his motorbike and killed by a driver chasing him through the streets at 97mph has described the "pain and torture" she has felt from his death.Harley Lea, 17, died after Brandon Glover smashed his Toyota Corolla into the back of the teen's motorbike - a "tragic and catastrophic" collision - as Glover searched for thieves who had stolen his brother's bike.Glover, 25, was previously cleared of murder and manslaughter at a trial in March, but admitted causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He returned to Liverpool Crown Court to be sentenced today. Glover showed no reaction as he was locked up for 10 years, of which he will serve two thirds before becoming eligible for release on licence, reports the ECHO.
Sentencing, Judge Nicholas Barker said: "Harley Lea was only 17. He was out that night to have some fun with his friends and his brother - they did not steal your brother's motorbike."Harley is described by his mother as central to their busy family and a close support to her, his brothers and his grandmother - who he used to look after while she faced the challenge of treatment for cancer.
