Sharon Miller and Wayne Birkett were among three people who survived when Valdo Calocane ploughed into them with a van he'd stolen from 65-year-old Ian Coates , after stabbing him to death.

"I thought I was dying. I just wish he had taken me instead of the students," said Sharon of the teenagers.

Wayne , a former forklift driver, was catapulted into the air and left in a coma when he was hit from behind.

Sharon has been unable to work since and rarely leaves the house.
