Derbyshire: Driver knocks over worker after ignoring closure

A driver who ignored a road closure before reversing into a worker and driving off has been banned from the road.

John Leonard Muckle drove past closure signs while potholes were being fixed in Locko Lane in Hardstoft, Derbyshire, on 13 May 2024.

After failing to pass a council truck on one side of the road, Muckle, of Broom Avenue in Pilsley, Chesterfield, tried to go around the other side and in doing so, knocked a worker into the hedgerow.

On 22 January, Muckle was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months, and banned from driving for a year.
