Driver on 20 million cedis bail for careless driving

Cape Coast, Nov. 06, GNA - Joseph Holdbrook, a private vehicle driver, was on Monday granted 20 million cedis bail with a surety by a circuit court in Cape Coast for careless and inconsiderate driving and negligently causing harm.

He pleaded not guilty and would reappear on November 21. Chief Inspector Hope Azasoo told the court that on September 1 Holdbrook, who parked his vehicle in a curve at Kotokuraba, suddenly took off without observing and considering other roads users. He said in the process he ran into an Opel Kadet taxicab driven by one Mr Isaac Sam, thereby causing damage to the vehicle. Inspector Azasoo said Mr Sam also sustained injury.
