A FRANTIC mum screamed “where’s my baby?” after a drunk driver crashed into her car at 141mph on a motorway.
Eight-month-old Zackary Blades was thrown 50 metres from the wreckage and killed, while his aunt Karlene Warner, 30, also died.
Darryl Anderson, 38, had been repeatedly making calls and sending texts and even took a photo of his dashboard showing the car’s speed.
Yesterday he was jailed for 17 years and three months and banned from driving for a further 21-and-a-half years after release.
Zackary ’s mum, Shalorna Warner, called for him to be banned for life, saying: “No one should have to go through what we have. Karlene and Zack’s lives were more than that.”
Shalorna picked up her sister Karlene from Newcastle Airport in her Peugeot 308 in the early hours of May 31. At the same time, Anderson was collecting his Audi Q5. Airport staff said he smelled of alcohol.
