Tractor smashes into homes after drug driver runs red light
A drug-driver crashed into a tractor, causing it to smash into a row of houses in Chester. Matthew Cumpsty, 52, of Oldfield Drive, Great Boughton, drove a Mercedes E-Class through a red light into the path of a JCB tractor, Cheshire Police said. The impact of the crash caused the tractor to veer off the road into a series of homes in Green Lane, leaving a trail of destruction. Two houses suffered serious structural damage. There were no reports of injuries. Cumpsty appeared at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday (15 July) where he was handed a 12-month community order including 200 hours community service. He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £114 surcharge and received a 16-month driving ban. He had earlier pleaded guilty to drug-driving and dangerous driving.
