       Mum Caroline Woodcock spoke of her torment in an emotional victim impact statement as Gibson, 31, was today jailed for 12 years.

       She told how her whole life "has gone" after losing her soulmate husband, also known as Dan, and "beautiful" son Lewis last January.

       Caroline also revealed the toddler was her and Jonathan's "miracle" baby as the couple believed they couldn't have children.

       She said: "Finally my boys can rest at peace and I and the family can try to build some sort of life where we try to come to terms with this horrific loss.”

       Nottingham Crown Court heard how Gibson had been drinking and smoking cannabis when he drove from a Sainsbury's to his pal's home.

       He hit speeds of 82mph in a 30mph zone as he undertook at least three vehicles and ran a red light in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

       At the time he crashed side-on into Jonathan and Lewis, his Audi was already airborne after he either lost control or cut a corner.

       Another car travelling behind Jonathan's, which had family of three inside, was also hit by Gibson but they suffered only minor injuries.

       Firefighters had to cut open Jonathan's Peugeot to get him out before he was taken to hospital with his son.

       Tragically, the pair, who had been travelling back from a family day out, couldn't be saved and died shortly after.

       As well as a 12-year jail sentence, Gibson was also handed an 18-year driving ban.

       He pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

       Investigator Louise Melbourne from Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “James Gibson’s driving and actions on this day took a well-loved husband, son, brother, friend, and adored grandchild from their family and friends.

       “No family should ever have to go through what their family has and still goes through daily. And that suffering was completely avoidable.

       “Gibson got behind the wheel of his car not only with alcohol in his system but drugs too.

       “Not content with that, his manner of driving, reaching speeds nearly three times the limit, running a red light, and overtaking cars putting countless drivers at risk showed his complete disregard not only for his own safety but innocent members of the publics’ too.

       “I want to send a strong reminder to anyone thinking about getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after taking drugs or drinking – think of Dan and Lewis, and the utter devastation you could cause by your selfish actions.

       “Don’t be that person - catch a taxi or ask a friend to drive you. Nothing is worth risking your life or the life of another.”
