CHILDREN LEFT WITH HORRIFIC INJURIES AFTER HE CRASHED AUDI

- By KENNY PARKER

A MUM'S youngest child was leftparalysed and two of her other kids were seriously hurt in a horror crash after she allowed her drugged-up cocaine dealer to drive them home.

Shayna Bowman, 29, from Wythenshawe, agreed to let Rhys Farry, 30, give her, her two sons and daughter a lift from a football tournament in his Audi A3, even though she knew he had been drinking and taking cocaine.

And disaster struck when he overtook a line of traffic, jumped a red light and hit another car before ploughing into a tree. Two of her children had to be airlifted to hospital while Bowman herself was seriously hurt in the crash.

Bowman's two-year-old son suf fered a severe spinal chord injury which left him paralysed from the waist down. Doctors have since said he will never walk again, a court heard. Her daughter, aged five, suffered a broken and dislocated arm and a fractured neck whilst her elder son, aged six, was left with a broken collar bone and multiple internal injuries.
