Driver narrowly avoids prison after seriously injuring motorcycle passenger
A driver who seriously injured a motorcycle passenger when he cut a corner and collided with a bike has avoided going to jail.
Shaun Davidson-King was travelling on Wildwood Drive, Stafford, on October 8 last year when he hit the bike carrying a rider and passenger.
At Cannock Magistrates Court on Wednesday, the 39-year-old admitted causing serious injury by careless/inconsiderate driving. The court was told his driving caused a "serious injury to the leg of Francis Scott who was a passenger on the motorcycle".
Davidson-King, of Valley Road, Wolverhampton, was given an 18-week prison sentence suspended for 18 months.
He must also carry out 200 hours of unpaid work in the next year.
The court also imposed costs of £185 and a surcharge of £154.
