The 22-year-old was due to face a trial, but during a hearing before Judge Graham Knowles QC, he pleaded guilty to a charge of causing serious injury while driving a car dangerously.

The court was previously told police were called around 12.45pm after reports of a collision on October 8 last year.

At the time police said they believed the victim had been driving when he passed another vehicle and urged the driver to slow down.

He suffered injuries to his right foot and ankle.
