Two YouTubers who flipped a car and crashed near the Wrekin in a viral video have been fined £1,000 each.
Romell Henry, Jamie 'Jay' Swingler and Richard Percival
Swingler, of Wellington, Telford, and Henry, of Stafford, were sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court after pleading guilty to careless driving. Percival, aged 51 and of Robert Street, Dudley, will be sentenced at a later date. At one point, Henry is driving while hanging out of the window, and later in the video they snap the indicator off and start singing"**** the indicator!" Percival, who was in on the stunt, shouted at Swingler and Henry throughout, telling them to"watch the ****ing pothole","keep your hands on the ****ing wheel" and"you're putting my life at risk!"Judge Anthony Lowe was far from impressed at their antics, and said a jury would have regarded...
William Douglas-Jones, defending Swingler and Henry, said they displayed"foolish and puerile" behaviour, but that"many measures" were taken to prevent risk to other road users during the filming. There were"safety" cars in front and behind the Clio which were filming their driving.
