A driver said 'I'll do it again' after he killed a 16-month-old toddler and three others by crashing his stolen Golf into their people carrier at the end of 100mph police chase.
Elliott Bower, 19, crashed into a people carrier containing seven people as he drove a Volkswagen Golf through areas of Sheffield at speeds in excess of 100mph to evade the police.
The driver of the people carrier, Adnan Ashraf Jarral, 35, died along with his 16-month-old son, Muhammed Usman Bin Adnan, and a married couple, Vlasta Dunova, 41, and Miroslav Duna, 50.

Elliott told police after slamming the VW Golf into the people carrier: 'I will get out and I will do the same thing again and you lot will have to chase me.'
He and his brother Declan Bower, 23, were wanted by police for questioning in relation to serious offences at the time of the crash in November, Doncaster Crown Court heard.
Richard Wright QC, prosecuting, said the pair, along with another teenager, Mason Cartledge, now 18, were all engaged in a 'pro-criminal lifestyle' and were 'resolved not to surrender to custody'.
Mr Wright said that, in the days before the fatal crash, the brothers posted a picture of themselves on social media in a 'deliberate and gratuitous taunt' to police.
The court heard the picture showed the two men 'grinning inanely', with Elliott holding up his middle finger and with the caption 'f*** da police'.
On the evening of the crash, the three defendants were travelling in the Golf, which they had stolen and fitted with number plates cloned from another car to avoid attracting the attention of police.
When they were identified by officers, Elliott led their marked vehicle on a five-minute chase over nearly six miles, during which he reached speeds in excess of 100mph, drove on the wrong side of the road on a blind bend and drove the wrong way around a roundabout.
Video footage taken from the police car showed the vehicle struggling to keep up with the Golf, despite travelling at speeds of up to 103mph at times during the pursuit.
The chase only ended when the Golf ploughed into the Volkswagen Touran, driven by Mr Jarral, at a speed of 79mph, instantly killing four of the people in the car.
Elliott and Cartledge left the car in an attempt to run away but were detained at the scene.
Elliot abandoned his brother, who had been left trapped in the Golf with a broken leg and wrist, but all three defendants were detained at the scene, the court was told.
When arrested, Elliot said to police: 'You can remand me if you like. I will get out and I will do bang the same thing again and you lot will have to chase me.'

Emergency services found Declan 'seemingly unconcerned by the severity of the collision' and 'casually smoking a cigarette'.
The Touran contained members of two different families who had travelled from London to Sheffield and were just yards from home when the collision occurred as Mr Jarral was turning right on to a residential street.
Mr Wright said: 'The defendants were travelling so fast that Adnan could not have seen them approaching from his rear when he positioned himself to turn right.
'He was utterly blameless and could have done nothing to avoid the inevitable collision.'
Mr Wright said there was 'virtually nothing left' of the driver's seat or rear passenger seat in the Touran following the collision after it crumpled to four inches.

The force of the collision drove the people carrier 13 inches along the road, colliding with three other vehicles and rotating 360 degrees.
The three survivors, Mr Jarral's wife, Erica Kroscenova, the fatally injured couple's daughter, Nikola Dunova, 22, and her three-year-old daughter, Livia Matova, were all seriously injured.
In a victim impact statement read to the court Mrs Kroscenova said the families were returning from a trip to London where they had been to 'get travel documents' from an embassy.
In emotional tributes she said: 'We didn't deserve this and we lost loved ones. I lost my baby boy, who gave me strength and appetite for life every day.
'I miss his smile, I miss his voice, I never heard him calling me 'mummy', the only word he said was 'daddy'.'
She described her husband as a 'great father and husband'.
'He was a wise man and I loved him very much. I miss him more and more each and every day.'
Judge Recorder of Sheffield Jeremy Richardson QC said the victim impact statements demonstrated the 'enormity' of the consequences for those killed and injured.
When he was arrested, Elliott, who, at the time, was subject of a warrant issued for failing to appear at court for breaching a suspended sentence for burglary, told police he was not the driver.
He told arresting officers: 'You can remand me if you like, I'll get out and I'll do bang the same thing again and you lot will have to chase me.'
Elliott Bower admitted causing death by dangerous driving of four of the people in the car and three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Declan Bower and Cartledge have both pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking in which death was caused.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
