A drunk driver who claimed he was too injured to be prosecuted after he killed a young man in a high-speed crash was caught out after he was filmed dancing at a rave and kayaking. 

Steven Naylor, 41, was driving at speeds of up to 120mph when he ploughed his Audi into the back of a motorbike being ridden by Owen Baugh on the M62 near Liverpool in April 2021. 

The 23-year-old from Manchester was knocked into the carriageway and was killed after he was mown down by another vehicle.  

While Naylor was himself left seriously injured, having been impaled on a wooden fence when his car veered off the road, both him and his wife Lisa set about weaving a web of lies to prevent him from facing justice. 

The couple vastly exaggerated the extent of the injuries he suffered in the collision, claiming he could barely walk. 

However, police soon uncovered pictures and videos of Naylor playing rugby, kayaking and going on boating trips, holidaying abroad and shopping at Aldi.   

He also attended his brothers' wedding and gave a speech at the event, with separate photos showing him helping someone climb up a tree.

Liverpool Crown Court yesterday heard the Naylors had hosted a belated birthday party for Lisa at their home address in St Helens on the evening of April 24, 2021. 

However, after the guests had left Lisa woke up in the early hours to find her 41-year-old husband had left the house, leaving his phone on the bedside table.

Nicola Daley, prosecuting, said: 'For some unknown reason, after consuming alcohol during the course of the evening, Stephen Naylor chose to get into his car and ended up driving along the M62 motorway.'

Naylor was captured on CCTV travelling behind Mr Baugh's motorcycle at roughly 120mph while also 'flashing his headlights to get people to move out of the way'.

The father-of-four's car then struck the back of the bike, pushing it towards the hard shoulder of the motorway.  

The court heard Mr Baugh subsequently fell into the left hand lane of the M62, where he was struck by another vehicle and killed.

Naylor's Audi, meanwhile, continued onto the grass verge at the side of the motorway, smashing through a wooden fence and coming to rest in an adjacent field.

This resulted in a 'long piece of the fencing' piercing the front windscreen and impaling him to the left shoulder area, the hearing was told.
