Disqualified driver involved in accident

He was 22-year-old Declan Henderson, of Allenhill Drive, Lurgan, and he sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for two years, and banned for two years for driving while disqualified on March 25 last year.

As well he was fined 250 and banned for two years for not having insurance and fined 100 and banned for 12 months for driving without due care and attention.

The court heard that police were called to a road traffic collision at a roundabout on the North Circular Road involving two vehicles.

A solicitor for Henderson said he was working as a labourer with his uncle’s building firm and was asked to move a dump truck from one location to another. His uncle was not aware he was disqualified.

The solicitor added that Henderson had expressed remorse about the injury to the young lady in the car and had apologised to her.

A pre-sentence report assessed him as a low risk of re-offending.
