A 'thrill-seeking' teenager who caused the death of his 14-year-old friend as he rode his e-scooter on 'turbo mode' through a red light before crashing with a BMW has walked free from court.Passenger Jacob Calland was on the back of the e-scooter and suffered irreversible severe brain injuries from the crash in Wythenshawe, Manchester, on March 19 last year. He died eight days later in hospital.Manchester Crown Court heard the driver, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, received the scooter as a present from his mother two weeks before the collision.After pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to causing death by dangerous driving, the teenager was sentenced to an 18-month rehabilitation order.'My heart has been smashed into a thousand pieces and there is nothing that can be done to fix it. My life is a living nightmare,' Jacob's mother, Carly Calland, said in a statement.'I climbed into the hospital bed to cuddle him and I fell asleep holding him. When I woke up, it was time to turn off the machines.'I told Jacob I loved him just before he passed away. My baby boy was gone forever.'He won’t sit his GCSEs, he won’t have his sweet sixteen birthday party, he won’t go to his school prom. He won’t be able to follow his dreams. He won’t get married and won’t have children. His life ended the moment that collision happened.' Passenger Jacob Calland (pictured) was on the back of the e-scooter and suffered irreversible severe brain injuries from the crash in Wythenshawe, Manchester, on March 19 last year. He died days later in hospital 'My heart has been smashed into a thousand pieces and there is nothing that can be done to fix it. My life is a living nightmare,' Jacob's mother, Carly Calland, said in a statement. Pictured: Jacob pictured with his motherProsecutors said the exact speed the e-scooter was travelling at before it was struck by a BMW on Southmoor Road at the junction of Timpson Road could not be determined but it was in a 'turbo mode' setting of up to 28mph.The teenager sat in the well of the court with his father as Judge Suzanne Goddard KC told him: 'It is clear from dashcam footage, CCTV and eyewitness statements that you were driving at speed when you entered the junction and too fast for you and the driver to avoid the collision.'I am satisfied your actions were reckless. You were seeking the thrill of riding a scooter at high speed and not thinking of the danger you were placing yourself and Jacob in.'The e-scooter should not have been used on a public road at all. The use of privately owned e-scooters remains illegal on public roads, cycle lanes, pavements and public parks.'The court heard the youth had a 'very unstable, traumatic upbringing', rarely attended school and had not taken a cycling proficiency course.However he has made 'remarkable progress' since the crash after moving out of the area to live with his father.Judge Goddard said it is clear from a pre-sentence report and a psychiatric assessment that the teenager is 'genuinely and deeply remorseful… and is struggling with his feelings of guilt for what he did'.She told the court: 'I consider that because of his age, background and lack of maturity his culpability is much lower than otherwise would be the case.'Jacob was a friend and he is deeply upset at the devastation caused to Jacob's family.'In my judgment sending him to custody would put him at risk of serious mental health issues, damage his education prospects and increase his risk of reoffending.'The teenager, who had no previous convictions or cautions, was also banned from driving for five years. The heartbreaking moment Ms Calland clutched onto her young son and said her final goodbyes after the fatal e-scooter crash in south ManchesterOutside court, Ms Calland said: 'I am very disappointed and not happy with the outcome. I don't think it's giving people the right message.'I would have liked a custodial sentence. At the end of the day he has taken a life.'Following Jacob's death, Ms Calland launched 'Jacob's Journey' – a campaign aimed at raising awareness about e-scooter use, their dangers and the legalities surrounding them.Detective Constable Steve Pennington, from Greater Manchester Police, said: 'This was a tragic incident and one that could have been avoidable. 'The ongoing efforts of Jacob's mother Carly have been truly commendable and to see her utilising her emotions and grief to power and promote a worthy cause has been inspiring to see.'E-scooters are not harmless toys and they can lead to horrific consequences when used by inexperienced riders and without the due care required.'I would urge parents to check what their children are using and to ensure they are educated about the risks of using them on the road.'
