A MOTHER whose son was killed on the M62 when his drunk dad Matthew Rycroft crashed a car has described how he's torn the family apart.Matthew Rycroft, 37, of Nowell View, Leeds, appeared at Leeds Crown Court today for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to the manslaughter of 12-year-old Callum Rycroft.In addition to the custodial sentence he has also been disqualified from driving for nine years and seven months.
At around 9.30pm he was involved in a single vehicle collision on the M62 westbound exit slip road to Hartshead Moor Services.West Yorkshire Police received a report at 9.45pm of two people walking in the live lane of the motorway and minutes later, Callum was involved in a collision with a Toyota C-HR. He died at the scene.
Detective Chief Superintendent Sarah Jones, of West Yorkshire Police’s Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “This is a truly sad case. Matthew Rycroft should have been one of the people who Callum could trust most in the world to keep him safe. Tragically, Matthew ignored the pleas of his family and put himself and his son in danger and it was Callum who paid the ultimate price.
In a victim personal statement submitted to the court, Callum’s mother Claire Bancroft describes the special bond they shared and the unique character of Callum, who was born with spina bifida and diagnosed with autism at the age of four.“Callum like any other child should have had the opportunity to grow up and go to college. He was only 12, he had his whole life ahead of him.
