THE dad of a Hampshire teenager who suffered life-changing injuries in a high-speed bike crash says the rider who boasted of hitting speeds of up to 175mph should never be allowed to ride again.

Georgina Saville, 17, from Sholing suffered serious injuries when she was riding on the back of a bike driven by Adam Wilde, which crashed on the A35 Puddletown Bypass.

Wilde, 29, of Carnation Road, Swaythling has been sentenced to three and a half years behind bars after pleading guilty to two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was also banned from driving for five years with a requirement to take an extended retest.

Wilde boasted that he had reached speeds of more than 140mph and was even quoted as saying “175 in fifth gear and still more to go”, before the crash.

Georgina’s dad Phillip Saville, pictured above, 46, told the Daily Echo that Wilde should never be allowed to touch a bike again and should have been given a longer sentence.

Georgina, who was 16 at the time of the crash, sustained life-changing injuries, including two bleeds on the brain, severe damage to both of her arms, which she is still unable to use, and a large open wound on her abdomen which required major skin graft surgery. She had to have a metal plate fitted to replace her elbow.

She was in a coma for two weeks and has had 30 operations since the crash.

In a victim statement read out in court, she said: “Nothing will ever make what happened okay, he was playing with my life in his hands.

“I have lost the ability to write and cannot continue my passion for drawing. All for one man to be reckless on the road and show off.

“Justice will never be done. He took away my A-levels, my job, my elbow, my life.”

The Daily Echo understands she was originally treated at Southampton General Hospital but has been seen by doctors and staff at Salisbury District Hospital.

Mr Saville said: “I am glad he has been sent down but I wish it had been for longer. There is nothing that is going to make Georgina’s injuries better.

“He is an absolute idiot and to do it with someone on the back of the bike, he had no regard for her safety and well-being.

“The trauma and the pain she has gone through and will be going through, no compensation will help.

“He is totally responsible for everything. She is in pain while he sits in a nice cell.”

The trial at Bournemouth Crown Court heard that in May last year, Wilde – who was carrying Georgina as a pillion passenger – was among a group of seven motorbikes and nine people who had gathered in Southampton for a ride-out to Weymouth.

Daniel Lincoln, 21, of Caerperis View in Fareham was also carrying a passenger and wore a chest-mounted camera that captured the ride-out and the aftermath of the collision.

Wilde, Lincoln and Nima Biniaz – a 19-year-old from Hulls Road, Southampton – were seen overtaking vehicles while ignoring solid white lines.

Wilde’s bike was seen travelling in excess of 100mph before he collided with the rear of one of the smaller motorbikes, which in turn collided with a third bike.

Other members of the group were also sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty to offences last year.

Lincoln was handed a 12-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months, ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving.

Biniaz was handed an eight-month prison sentence suspended for 15 months, ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving.

Ellis Caplen was banned for driving and ordered to pay a total of £190.

Christopher Wilde, 28, of Millbrook Road, Southampton, was given six penalty points on his driving licence and ordered to pay a total of £180.
