THIS is the moment a killer dad and his son flee in a smashed-up van after running over an innocent man. Shocking CCTV footage revealed Martin and Shaun Breeze brazenly driving away after mowing down 60-year-old Brian Darby on February 9 2024. The callous pair were captured on camera in their heavily damaged white van, which had a crumpled bonnet after the hit-and-run.

A hair-raising 999 call revealed Shaun lying about the vehicle being stolen after the duo abandoned it. "There's been a crash, with a stolen van and its my dad's van that's been stolen," said Shaun. "They think it was my dad that was driving it and we just need to clear his name basically.

"They've been looking for my dad, they've went to my nanna's at 3 o'clock in the morning, then raided it. "There's been a crash earlier on tonight when the car was stolen, the van, someone's been killed, I think.". A trial heard Mr Darby, a 17-year-old boy, a 50-year-old woman and two other men had been walking home after enjoying a night out before the horror unfolded.

Moments later Shaun ploughed through them while riding a bike. The thug pretended he was carrying a knife when they group started to protest. The three men started to chase Shaun before he smashed into another pedestrian and fell off his bike. He fled on foot while calling dad Martin, who was at home in Ingleby Barwick, for help.
