A Bulgarian immigrant who killed a toddler when he crashed into a stationary car while watching TikTok videos on his phone was jailed for 11 years and three months today.Hristo Iliev, 32, spent around seven minutes looking at clips on the social media platform before smashing into the back of another vehicle which was waiting at a roundabout.A court heard Chloe Baker was travelling home from an after school club with her 20-month-old son, Finley Baker, when Iliev's Volkswagen Passat struck her car.The force of the impact shunted Mrs Baker's car forward into another stationary vehicle leaving Finley unresponsive and another child in her car unconscious for four minutes.Finley sustained a catastrophic head injury and was airlifted to hospital, where his life support was withdrawn two days later as he was cradled by his parents, Daniel and Chloe.Mrs Baker also suffered a badly dislocated arm and significant cuts and bruises during the collision which happened on the A17 Holdingham roundabout, near Sleaford, Lincolnshire, at around 4.45pm on 19 March last year.Lincoln Crown Court heard the other child sustained a cut leg and chipped tooth in the crash.Iliev - who had been caught by police using his phone at the wheel a year before the collision - was repeatedly heard saying 'oh no, oh no' at the scene. Hristo Iliev, 32, spent around seven minutes looking at clips on TikTok, Lincoln Crown Court heardIliev later gave the police a prepared statement in which he denied using his phone and claimed to have maintained a safe distance from Mrs Baker's car.But Jeremy Janes, prosecuting, told the court: 'That simply was not true.''His phone was seized and ultimately that gave up the best evidence of what caused this collision,' Mr Janes explained.Analysis of the phone showed that in the seven minutes before the collision Iliev had briefly watched the Apple TV app and unlocked the device on at least two occasions to watch TikTok, partially viewing at least six videos and manually removing nine notifications.Mr Janes stressed: 'On any view the use of the mobile phone is prolonged, it is minutes.'Collision investigators also estimated that Iliev did not take any evasive action until just 20ft (6.4m) away from Mrs Baker's Kia car.The court heard Iliev had no previous convictions but had two previous endorsements on his driving licence.They included an incident in March 2024 where Iliev received six penalty points after a police officer saw him using a mobile phone while driving on the A156 near Gainsborough.Iliev admitted causing the death of Finley Baker on 21 March last year by driving a Volkswagen Passat dangerously.The father-of-three, of Boston, also pleaded guilty to a second charge of causing serious injury to Chloe Baker by dangerous driving.Both of Finley's parents were present in court and read out moving victim impact statements from the witness box.Mrs Baker, a teaching assistant, described her son as 'her beautiful baby boy' who did not deserve to die because of Iliev's reckless choices.She told the court how Finley would help with the weekly shop and loved his balance bike.'If only we had known his first birthday was the only one we would celebrate we would have filled it with bikes,' she said.'What happened on our journey home is something I will never get over,' Mrs Baker explained.She added it was not fair that Iliev would return to his family after serving his sentence.'Mr Iliev stole his whole life and from us,' Mrs Baker insisted.Mr Baker explained how the decision to withdraw Finley's life support was one no parent should have to make.'It has altered us as people forever,' he said.'We don't sleep for more than a few hours a night.'Mr Baker said the family could not bear the thought of moving as it would be like leaving Finley behind.Jon Dee, mitigating for Iliev, said he came to the UK as a teenager and 'has worked, paid taxes and had a family' during his 15 years in the country.Judge Simon Hirst said Iliev's offending was aggravated by his use of the phone, which went way beyond a prolonged conversation, and his previous driving offence.'You lied to the police when you denied using your phone,' Judge Hirst told Iliev.Judge Hirst added: 'The reason you did not notice the roundabout approach, Mrs Baker braking, Mrs Baker stopping, is because you were using your phone to watch videos.'Iliev, who followed the hearing via a Bulgarian interpreter, was also banned from driving for ten and half years and will have to take an automatic retest.The defendant lives in a rented home in a Boston cul-de-sac, where his partner declined to comment on the case when contacted by the Mail this week.
