Brookside star apologises outside court for seriously injuring schoolgirls in crash

A former Brookside star said he's sorry for seriously injuring two schoolgirls in a horror car crash.

Louis Emerick Grant, of Liscard, Wirral, was today spared jail after admitting causing the crash on Poulton Road in Wallasey while being blinded by the sun. CCTV footage played to Wirral Magistrates’ Court showed the moment Grant's car ploughed into the two friends, aged 12 and 13, while they were on a hatched area in the centre of the road.

They were both thrown to the ground, with the older girl suffering a broken right leg and her mum was horrifyingly warned that the limb might need to be amputated, though fortunately this was not necessary.
