A video of a car meet that went wrong shows the moment a car doing doughnuts crashed into the crowd.
One of two cars spinning in the middle of a circle of people lost control and hit an onlooker as well as parked cars.
The driver of the red BMW, Milosz Sobiechowski, was sentenced on Friday, October 25 at Swindon Crown Court for dangerous driving.
In the video from a car meet at Hawksworth Industrial Estate on September 30 last year, a crowd watches and films two cars spinning doughnuts in a ring.
The crowd is already worryingly close to the fast-moving cars when Sobiechowski loses control and closes the distance.
