A driver addled on a cocktail of drugs sped off from police, jumped a red traffic light and crashed into a traffic island. And then an oncoming driver collided with him.
Surajepal Singh was taken to hospital after the crash, Bristol Crown Court heard. Though a test for alcohol in his blood not taken until nine hours later cleared him of drink-driving, he was found to be over the drug-driving limit in a test which showed his system was positive for derivatives of cocaine and cannabis.
Singh, 37, of Beverley Road in Horfield, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and two charges of drug-driving. He appeared for sentence today. (June 28, 2022)
