A 30-year-old man is due to appear in court today for causing serious injury by dangerous driving after he crashed into a house.
Todd Richardson of Sapphire Crescent, Worcester, faces multiple driving charges following the crash in a BMW X6 in Bromwich Road, St John's, Worcester.
How we reported the warrant being issued
He did not attend a court hearing at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday last week but was arrested outside the police station in Castle Street on Saturday.
Richardson was due to appear before magistrates in Kidderminster today.
He faces three charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving on December 19 last year; one charge of possessing a class A drug (cocaine); three charges of drug driving and one charge of driving without insurance.
The drug driving charges relate to Benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite with a reading of 547µg/L in blood (more than ten times the limit of 50µg/L).
The reading for cocaine was 13µg/L in blood (above the limit of 10µg/L).
The reading for ketamine was 23µg/L in blood (above the limit of 20µg/L).
We have previously reported how a car crashed into a house on Bromwich Road, St John's, causing the residents to have to move elsewhere.
The house, owned by Worcestershire County Council, remains uninhabitable and boarded up because of structural damage.
Several passengers in the car suffered injuries with three attending hospital for serious injuries, with one in critical condition.
There was damage to both the property and vehicles in the property’s driveway, however, nobody in the house was hurt.
