Shrewsbury driver, 86, fined after town centre crash
A driver in his 80s who failed to stop after crashing a car in a town centre has been fined £200.
Graham Merrick, aged 86, crashed a Ford Focus into a Fiat in Claremont Street in Shrewsbury town centre on May 24 last year.
Merrick, of Lesley Owen Way, Sundorne, Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty at Worcester Magistrates Court to driving without due care and attention, failing to stop after an accident and driving without a licence.
As well as the fine, magistrates ordered that Merrick's licence be endorsed with seven penalty points. He must also pay £144 in other court costs.
