Craig Nunn jailed after killing baby Harley Wilkinson in a 90mph drug-fuelled crash in Worcestershire

A mother has spoken of her unimaginable grief after her three-week-old baby was killed by a drug-fuelled driver racing at 90mph through a red light.

Harley Wilkinson, described by his mother as her “miracle baby,” died instantly when Craig Nunn, 40, smashed into the family’s car on the A451 between Stourport and Kidderminster. The reckless driver, high on amphetamines, was sentenced to 14 years in prison—but for Harley’s family, no punishment can undo the devastating loss.

Speaking through tears in court, Imogen Bradley recalled how she never believed she could have a child. “Harley was my miracle,” she said. “His absence has left a void that will never be filled. I see Harley’s face every time I close my eyes. I refuse to accept what happened – my world has been devastated.”

The crash also left Harley’s father seriously injured, suffering spinal fractures and other long-term injuries. The young family had been travelling in a Peugeot when Nunn, who ran a red light while speeding at nearly 90mph, ploughed into them in a horrifying impact.

The full horror of Nunn’s actions emerged during the investigation. Police discovered a stash of weapons in his vehicle—including an imitation firearm, a knife, and an axe. Prosecutors said the arsenal underscored how dangerous Nunn truly was, not just behind the wheel but as a threat to the public.

He pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and drug driving, and was also convicted of possessing weapons. His sentences will run concurrently, meaning he faces 14 years behind bars—although families and campaigners are already questioning whether that is enough.

Detective Sergeant Liam Bennett, who led the investigation, expressed the community’s shared grief and outrage. “An innocent baby lost his life and two parents were left utterly devastated,” he said. “This case shows just how deadly drug-driving can be—and how much destruction it causes in an instant.”

Harley’s death has prompted renewed calls for tougher sentencing for those who drive under the influence of drugs. Campaigners are also pushing for greater efforts to remove illegal weapons from Britain’s roads.

Imogen’s words outside court carried the weight of a grieving mother determined to be heard. She described Harley’s brief life as a blessing—and his death as a permanent scar. “We were just beginning our journey together as a family. Now, everything is gone.”

Community members have rallied around the family, offering support and joining the call for stronger laws. Flowers, teddy bears, and heartfelt messages now line the roadside near the crash site—a heartbreaking tribute to a life stolen before it had a chance to begin.

As Nunn begins his prison sentence, Harley’s family is left to pick up the pieces. Their message is simple but urgent: more must be done to stop dangerous drivers from turning roads into battlegrounds. No family should ever have to bury a child because someone got behind the wheel high on drugs.

The name Harley Wilkinson will now stand as both a memory and a warning—a baby who should still be in his mother’s arms, not in a headline about a senseless, preventable tragedy.
