A SPEEDING driver has been jailed over a crash that caused a road worker to have his leg amputated.
Anthony Tregonning hit Ieuan Parry after travelling at around 131mph in a £40,000 Mitsubishi Evo on the A465 Heads of the Valleys road near Tredegar.
The 39-year defendant was being chased by the police when he drove into an area closed off by cones and struck his victim before continuing on his getaway.
Tregonning then called 999 twice and tried to blame his ex-girlfriend for the crime by saying she must have stolen his car.
His lies were soon exposed when police were told by one of his neighbours that he had been seen leaving in the vehicle shortly before the crash.
Officers also had evidence of that from video doorbell footage.
Mr Parry, then aged 24, was taken by helicopter to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff following the crash at 12.10pm on Monday, November 22, 2021.
It's taken you a while to get to that story, hasn't it?
