A TEENAGER who was drunk, disqualified from driving and speeding away from police when he ran a red light at Edgeworth and caused a crash that critically injured mother-of-three Tamika Weaver will not serve any more time in juvenile detention, with a magistrate praising the 18-year-old for turning his life around.
The lights at the intersection of Main Road and Garth Street had been red for nearly five seconds in the early hours of September 26, 2020, when the then 17-year-old careered into a maxi-taxi, flipping the van onto its side and injuring seven people.
