A WOMAN'S injuries were so severe her unborn child had to be aborted and she will never again conceive after her partner crashed their car into a tree, a Brisbane court has been told.
Nicholas Lacey, 26, from Springwood on Brisbane's southside, pleaded guilty in the Brisbane District Court today of dangerously operating a motor vehicle, causing grievous bodily harm to his partner Haylee Megan Harrison, 21.
Accident investigators estimated Lacey may have been driving in excess of 122kph in a 60kph zone, the court was told.
Ms Kaur said while Mr Lacey emerged relatively unscathed, Ms Harrison, who was two months pregnant with Lacey's baby, took most of the impact.
The foetus had to be aborted and Ms Harrison also suffered leg fractures, a broken pelvis and was told by doctors she would be unable to conceive a child again because of her injuries.
The court was told while Ms Harrison was in hospital she told police: "He (Lacey) was being a f*ckwit, speeding and just lost it."
Ms Harrison also suffers long-term emotional trauma from the accident and is unable to get back into a car.
The court was told Ms Harrison and Mr Lacey had since broken up.
