By Chris Slack UPDATED: 03:57 EST, 24 February 2012 A six-year-old girl who was left paralysed and brain-damaged after a head-on collision has received a £5million payout in what a judge described as the 'saddest case' he has come across. Cerys Edwards, from Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, will also get an annual £450,000 payout for the rest of her life. Cerys was just 11 months old when her family's car was hit head-on by driver Antonio Boparan in Sutton Coldfield in November 2006. Tragic: Cerys Edwards, pictured before and after the horrific crash in November 2006. The six-year-old has been awarded a £5m payout and £450,000 annual payment to help with her care
