Harrowing CCTV footage shows the moment a teenage drug dealer crashed a stolen motorbike into a lamppost at 60mph leaving his best friend with catastrophic injuries.
Orlando Piasecke, 19, was travelling at twice the speed limit when he ploughed into a car before being catapulted into the concrete post on April 2 last year.

Piasecke can then be seen callously abandoning his friend with life-changing injuries at the scene in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
A court heard the victim was left with a pelvic fracture, multiple leg breaks, a bleed on the brain and may never walk again.
Piasecke was arrested but after being released on bail he went on a drug dealing spree which saw him take selfies with bags of white powder.

Piasecke, of Ilkeston, went on to admit causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving without insurance or a licence, and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
He was jailed for six years at Derby Crown Court earlier this month.
Sgt Matt Edwards said afterwards: “Piasecke showed little remorse after the crash in which his passenger was very seriously hurt.
“He continued to engage in criminality after his release on bail, by dealing class A drugs.
“I am pleased that he is now behind bars and ... streets are significantly safer as result.”
