A judge has jailed a disqualified driver over a high-speed crash on a residential street, saying it was a “miracle” no one was badly hurt.
Rees McPherson, 32, from Baldwin Webb Avenue, Telford, was already banned from driving when he smashed his BMW into the back of a taxi on Wombridge Road, Trench Court.
McPherson’s car veered into the drive of a house on the left, smashing into several parked cars, and again narrowly missing a man who was on his driveway. He gave a no-comment interview after being arrested by police, but the court heard his DNA was found on the car’s airbag.In terms of damage, one car was written-off, £15,455 of repairs were needed for the taxi, £1,390 for another car, and £1,782 for another vehicle.
Sentencing, Judge Peter Barrie said: “It was a clear sunny day, the verges are wide, nothing to prevent you having a good view of the road ahead and a bright red taxi passes a junction intending to turn right.
