Driver jailed after three people were injured in Bridlington.
On Saturday, 12 July Bridlington patrol officers were called to reports of a black VW Gold allegedly being driven dangerously around Bridlington. Moments later the vehicle was involved in a road traffic collision outside Leisure World, leading to three people sustaining minor injuries. The driver of the Golf then fled the scene, abandoning the car.
However, an off-duty police officer, who was dining with his family at a nearby restaurant, took swift action.
The officer sprang into action and pursued the driver. The man was subsequently swiftly detained and arrested nearby.
Michael Holdsworth, 37-years-old, of St Stephen Road in Bridlington was consequently arrested and charged for driving whilst unfit through drugs and alcohol, driving whilst disqualified, driving without insurance, failing to stop, and failing to provide a specimen for analysis.
Following his appearance at Hull Magistrates Court on Monday, 14 July, Holdsworth pleaded guilty to all offences and has been sentenced to nine months in prison, disqualified from driving for five years with the requirement to take an extended test, and handed a fine of £154.
