A hit-and-run driver who crashed into a pram, killing a two-week-old baby boy, has been sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison. 

James Davis, 35, crashed into 18-day-old Ciaran Leigh Morris on High Street in Brownhills, near Walsall, and then leapt out of his white BMW 1 Series 116d.

He had hit a Ford B-Max and then mounted the pavement on the opposite side of the road, before crashing into the baby on Easter Sunday last year.

The impact of his car killed baby Ciaran, who was with his mother and father, Codie Holyman and Camaron Morris.

Davis fled to his girlfriend's Bloxwich home, and called police on himself some 40 minutes after the crash.

In the lead up to the fatal moment, Davis was seen speeding through the streets of Brownhills. 

Today, Davis was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of causing death by dangerous driving and causing the death of Ciaran Morris by driving while uninsured.

Jurors at Wolverhampton Crown Court found him guilty after two hours and six minutes of deliberation.
