A biker has been jailed after causing a six-vehicle pile-up which left his pillion passenger fighting for her life.

Stuart Bradley, 46, had admitted dangerous driving after the crash at around 4.20pm on May 3 last year on the A21 between Tonbridge and the Morleys roundabout.

Six vehicles, including four motorbikes, a Citroen Saxo and a Vauxhall Astra, were caught up in the smash.

Bradley suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital, but his passenger, Dinah Walker, had several internal injuries and broken bones and was taken by air ambulance to London.

Bradley, of Queens Road, Bromley, has now been sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court to 15 months behind bars and he's disqualified from driving for five years.

Investigating officer, PC Claire Russell-Thomas of Kent Police's serious collision investigation unit, said: "This incident could well have had a more tragic outcome.

"The injuries sustained by Bradley's pillion passenger were initially thought to be life-threatening.

"She endured a long stay in hospital and still needs medical care so it has completely changed her life.

"The collision happened on a busy Bank Holiday Monday, and many motorcycles were on the road that day returning from the annual Hastings May Day rally."

Dinah Walker said in a statement: "This is something that I'm never, ever going to forget. I won't be allowed to, I've only got to look at myself every day and it is a reminder of what happened."
