Motorist caused collision at a junction in Larne
A motorist caused a collision after failing to stop at a junction in Larne, a court has heard.
Tommie Robinson (26), of Edward Avenue, in the town, admitted driving without due care and attention at 11.30pm on May 3 last year at the junction of Sallagh Park and Laharna Avenue.
There was a two vehicle collision. The defendant was on a side road and failed to stop at a junction.
Both vehicles were "written off", a prosecutor told Ballymena Magistrates Court on Thursday of last week (January 29).
A defence solicitor said that the defendant failed to come to a complete stop at a junction in a "lapse of judgement".
District Judge Nigel Broderick viewed footage and said that the defendant was fortunate as he had seen "serious injury if not fatality" in similar cases.
At Ballymena Magistrates Court, the defendant was given seven penalty points and was fined £250.
