The judge at Leeds Crown Court said the man was “lucky he did not die”
Prosecutor Lily Wildman said the 21-year-old joiner was drinking with two friends in the Dragon Hotel on Whitehall Road on the evening of April 15 last year. Emsley then asked to drive the car. A witness said he was driving beyond the speed limit before he lost control, failed to negotiate a bend at the Dragon Bridge near the pub and struck a barrier, rolling the car onto its roof.
Mitigating, Erin Kitson-Parker said: “He is lucky that nobody died, including himself. He is really sorry for what he has done and knows he has changed the victim’s life forever. He has made the biggest mistake of his life.” Miss Kitson-Parker told the court that Emsley was remorseful, but was interrupted by Recorder Enoch who said: “He tried to avoid responsibility in the worst kind of way. If he had stood up like a man, that would be one thing but he ran away. Remorse? I do not buy it.”
