Hit-and-run drink driver thought cyclist he seriously injured was “only a traffic cone” Motorist Daniel Towers was banned from driving for 16 months following the collision, which left the cyclist “barely conscious” and “struggling to breathe” cycling
A drink driver who failed to stop at the scene of a collision which left a cyclist with a potentially serious head injury told police that he believed that he “had only hit a traffic cone”.
According to Shelley, the cyclist suffered memory loss in the crash and only remembered waking up in hospital. However, the long-term impact of the collision is currently unclear, as police have since been unable to contact the cyclist, and no victim statement was prepared for court.
Mitigating, Jeff Smith told the court that “loud music” was playing in the car at the time of the incident and that neither Towers or his female passenger were aware of the collision.
