- There were EIGHT people in the car including a baby, two toddlers and a young child
- None of the eight occupants were wearing seatbelts
- One of the children was upside down in the rear footwell
- The car’s three remaining tyres were bald, with metal cord exposed
- The driver didn’t have a licence
- The vehicle was uninsured
The driver, a man in his 20s, was arrested and taken into custody. He was charged with dangerous driving, driving without an appropriate licence and driving without insurance following the incident in the early hours of Saturday morning (12 June).
He is due to appear at Scarborough Magistrates’ Court soon. Police issued a prohibition order, preventing the car from being driven. The vehicle was taken away on a recovery truck.
