Gave Lift, Crashed.
A lorry driver who gave a policeman a lift at Conisbrough collided with a car further on and was charged with driving without due care and attention. At Doncaster West Riding Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday the driver, Albert Edward Atkinson (55), of Church Street, Conisbrough, pleaded ‘Guilty’ and was fined £5. Atkinson said he did not see the car because of the sun glare on the windscreen.
