Man banned from driving after crashing into building in Carlton Colville
The 26 year old was caught at almost twice the drink drive limit
A man has been banned from driving for almost two years after being caught at almost twice the legal drink-drive limit following a crash in Carlton Colville last year.
Police were called on August 10 last year to reports a BMW car had left the road in Wharfedale and hit a building.
The driver fled the scene but was located close-by and was taken to James Paget Hopsital with serious injuries.
He subsequently provided a blood sample, which determined he had 159mg of alcohol per 100ml of his blood. The legal limit is 80mg.
26-year-old Kurtis Galyer, of Sheraton Drive, Grimsby, was charged with driving over the limited.
He admitted to the offence at Great Yarmouth Magistrates’ Court on February 9.
He's been disqualified from driving for 20 months and has been handed a £150 fine. He'll have to pay a £34 victim surcharge and £105 in costs.
