Leigh Park van driver in court after Christmas Day crash told to pay £1,200
MAGISTRATES have told a van driver to pay more than £1,200 after a crash.
Joe Stanhope, 29, of Liverpool Road, Fratton, Portsmouth, admitted careless driving and failing to stop after a crash in Barncroft Way, Leigh Park, on Christmas Day last year.
Portsmouth magistrates sentenced Stanhope after he pleaded guilty this summer to the offences.
He was fined £650 for failing to stop, and £225 for the careless driving in his Ford van.
Stanhope must also pay £225 compensation, a £65 victim surcharge and £85 costs.
Nine points were imposed on his licence at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court.
His guilty pleas were taken into account when he was sentenced.
