£3 million for motorcyclist amputee

A young motorcyclist, who had his leg and the lower half of his arm amputated after he was hit by a drunk driver, has settled his compensation claim for £3 million. A motorist who was later imprisoned for drink-driving and other offences, tried to overtake a vehicle whilst travelling in the opposite direction to the bike. He crossed lanes onto the wrong side of the road, into oncoming traffic, and collided head on with the motorbike.
