'Careless' driver seriously injured man in crash at Haverfordwest junction
A 'CARELESS' driver has admitted seriously injuring another man in a crash at a junction in Haverfordwest. James Puttock, 50, of Chestnut Way in Milford Haven, appeared at Swansea Crown Court charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving. It was alleged that Puttock was driving a Suzuki Splash dangerously on the A4076 Dredgeman Hill at the junction with the Old Hakin Road on December 20, 2022, when he crashed and caused another man serious injuries. Puttock denied the offence, but pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of causing serious injuries by careless or inconsiderate driving. Georgia Donohue, appearing for the prosecution, said this plea was acceptable and a trial would not be sought on the dangerous driving charge. Judge Paul Thomas KC adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. 'It will not be an immediate prison sentence,' he told the defendant. Puttock was re-admitted to bail, and will return to be sentenced on July 2. He was handed an interim disqualification after his guilty plea, with the length of his full driving ban to be confirmed at his sentencing hearing.
