Drink-driver was banned when he refused to stop for police after crash
A DRINK driver who had been banned from getting behind the wheel was caught despite refusing to stop for police after a crash. Callum Darch, 26, from Hampshire, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court charged with six motoring offences. Darch was accused of getting behind the wheel of a Peugeot 3008 on the B4341 at Broad Haven on June 22. It was alleged that he was disqualified from driving at the time, meaning he would have also been uninsured. Darch was also accused of crashing on the B4341, but then driving off. He was further charged with failing to stop when required by a police officer, and dangerous driving along Haroldston Hill. When breathalysed, he recorded having 54 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35. Darch, of St Blaize Road in Romsey, pleaded guilty to all charges on June 24. The magistrates declined jurisdiction of the case, and sent it on to Swansea Crown Court. Darch will appear for sentence on July 15 and was granted bail until that date.

Child seriously injured 'in quad bike hit-and-run': Two teenagers arrested after youngster 'was ploughed into while riding scooter on pavement'
Two teenage boys have been arrested after a child was 'ploughed into' by a quad bike in a hit and run crash. Essex Police were called to Aydon Close in Wickford just after 3pm on Saturday March 22 following reports of the collision. The child had been riding a push style scooter on the pavement at the time and suffered a serious leg injury, which was thankfully non-life threatening. Following an investigation, a 16-year-old and 15-year-old were arrested this morning in Essex, with the case still ongoing. The teenagers were arrested on suspicion of multiple motoring offences including causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road accident, failing to report an accident and driving other than in accordance with a licence. At the time, witnesses said the quad bike had briefly stopped before driving off towards Wickford town centre, Basildon Echo reports. They have since been released under investigation and police enquiries continue.
