Hatters Close Daresbury resident Daniel Halliwell received a sentence of 32 months in prison and a five-year driving ban with an 18-month extension.

At 5:05 p.m. on Friday, July 21, 2023, a dark grey Ford Fiesta and a dark grey Ferrari collided on the A558 Daresbury Expressway at its intersection with Daresbury Manor Park Avenue.

The Fiesta was joining the road from Manor Park Avenue, while the Ferrari was coming from the direction of the Mersey Gateway.

Halliwell was transported to the hospital at the time in critical condition, along with a 3-week-old child from the Fiesta.

The baby suffered life-altering injuries, but software entrepreneur Halliwell has recovered.

As part of the crash investigation, forensic collision investigators determined that the Ferrari was traveling between 102 and 111 miles per hour based only on tire marks. An expert witness who watched dash cam footage later estimated that the speed was even higher, between 129 and 136 miles per hour.

That carriageway has a 60 mph speed limit.

Halliwell claims to have been traveling at only 70 to 80 mph in a video that was made public by the police after the event.

In addition, Halliwell will have to pay £228 and do an extended test.

At a prior appearance at Chester Crown Court, the 35-year-old entered a guilty plea.

“This was shocking driving behavior that could only have resulted in tragedy,” stated Sgt. Andy Dennison.

Witnesses characterized Halliwell’s driving style as swift, menacing, and terrifying.

He eventually lost control of the vehicle and struck a mother and her three-week-old child.

“I truly don’t understand how anyone could believe that driving so recklessly and at such high speeds in crowded traffic could not have been so dangerous to himself and his passenger as well as to others.”

His mother told the court in a victim impact statement, “My son will not have the life that most of us envisage for our children.”

According to MailOnline, the family must relocate to a house that can accommodate the child’s needs.

Eventually, she will need an automobile that can accommodate specialized equipment and be wheelchair accessible.

It was reported that as the infant ages, the severity of his injuries only becomes more noticeable.
