Family’s fury as hit-and-run drug driver who severely injured boy, 10, is spared jail
A FAMILY told of their “disgust” yesterday as the hit-and-run drug driver who left a boy of ten severely injured was spared jail.
Oliver Davies was hurled 30ft into the air when cannabis-smoking Samuel Congreve, 24, hit him in his BMW.
Oliver of Tredegar, Gwent, had a punctured lung, multiple fractures and a lacerated spleen.
Now 11, he spent nine days in hospital following the smash and was left unable to walk upstairs or play with friends.
For weeks afterwards Oliver suffered recurring nightmares.
Mum of three Amy said the collision in June last year had affected the whole family and she had since been prescribed anti-depressants.

Congreve got four months suspended jail and a three-month curfew at Newport magistrates.
He was also banned from driving for two years.
Oliver’s mum Amy said: “It was disgusting.”
