When Barbara Young, 25, crashed her Fiat 500 into a Smyths store clerk outside the shop in Eccles, Greater Manchester, she was accompanied by her young son.

After stealing £130 worth of scooters, a GLAMOROUS mother-of-two ran over a toy store employee and dragged him 50 feet on the bonnet of her car.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the victim stated he is in “pain and torment” as a result of the trauma, which occurred after Barbara Young shoplifted two of the toys.

Barbara Young has now been sentenced to 22 months in prison and has been barred from driving for over three years after a court heard she has 19 prior convictions, including stealing and driving without due care and attention.

The defendant, who resides in Bolton, went to West One Retail Park with her sister and son before lifting two electric scooters, according to prosecutors at Manchester Crown Court.

In a strange turn of events, her sister was stopped by a store employee who noticed her carrying an unpaid bag for life.

When the luggage was returned, the man noticed that a transaction involving the scooters had been cancelled, implying that no money had been paid for them.

He raced outside and saw Barbara Young in the driver’s seat of her car, accompanied by a man and a child.

She explained to the worker that her boot wouldn’t open and that she couldn’t get the scooters out.

Juliet Berry for the CPS told the court: “He became suspicious and took a photo of the registration plate. He said he was going to call the police.”

Young’s sister then jumped into the car, and the defendant slammed on the gas, slamming into the employee.

The man was seen hanging to the bonnet and shattering the windscreen with his phone, according to surveillance footage.

After about 50 feet, he fell out of the car, and Barbara Young continued driving, crushing his feet.

Around an hour later, cops discovered the automobile and one of the unicorn scooters abandoned. The victim’s phone was still trapped on the windscreen’s edge.

The vehicle was not insured and had phoney plates.

The victim’s sternum, which is the bone in the middle of his chest, as well as his back, elbow, and knuckles, were all injured.

He told the court that the impact was “hard to put into words” and that he is still in pain five months later.

“I have to keep going – I just keep living in this cycle of pain and torment,” he said.

The automobile, according to Jane Dagnall, was a present. It was heard that Barbara Young only found out it was uninsured and had fake plates after she was arrested.

“There was very little thought,” Ms Dagnall said.

“She has been on remand for two months. The clanging of the prison gates has affected her.

“It hit home – what it’s like to lose her liberty.

“She is a young woman, she is a mother of two, and she is totally ashamed and remorseful.”

Recorder Paul Reid QC told the defendant: “You got into a car which you had no right to be driving.

“You had your child with you.

“It was perfectly clear he was standing immediately in front of your car. You couldn’t avoid seeing him.

“You chose to drive off with him in front of you. It wasn’t just a nudge, you drove into him with such force that he was propelled on the bonnet of the car and was hanging on.

“You must have known you had driven over him, yet you didn’t stop to see if he was alright, such was your keenness to get away.

“It’s a miracle he wasn’t more seriously hurt.”

Barbara Young pleaded guilty to stealing, assault with actual bodily harm, reckless driving, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, and failing to stop after an accident.

She was given a two-year and nine-month driving prohibition.
