This is the shocking moment a van driver distracted by his phone smashed into a broken down car - causing life-changing injuries to another driver.
Nathan Cole later admitted he had been checking social media while driving a Volkswagen van at high speeds down the A27 in West Sussex, police said.
He failed to see a Peugeot which had stopped on the hard shoulder of the busy dual carriageway, and careered into the back of the stationary vehicle.
The other driver suffered devastating injuries, needing surgery to have their leg amputated and spent time in a coma.
Dashcam video shows Cole, of Brighton, repeatedly looking down while driving at 72mph - 12mph faster than the speed limit for his vehicle, police said.
