Man in court charged with Maryhill crash

A man has appeared in court charged with crashing a car while two children were passengers and one was injured.

David Goldie, 36, allegedly drove “at excessive speed” on Guthrie Street, Maryhill, on June 6, drove on a pathway and collided with traffic bollards.

It’s claimed he failed to stop when 10-year-old and 12-year-old passengers asked him to, and the 10-year-old “did leave the moving vehicle and was injured”.

Goldie, from Maryhill, Glasgow, appeared from custody at the city’s sheriff court represented by Ian Sievwright who tendered pleas of not guilty on his behalf.

Papers from the court claim Goldie failed to stop and provide details after the alleged incident, and was allegedly over the drink drive limit.

It’s also alleged Goldie “concealed himself” in an attic at a house on Wyndford Road, and refused to move.

A trial was set for September and Goldie was released on bail by sheriff Raymond McMenamin
