    Taxi driver had no idea he had knocked down boy

    Thursday, 2 February 2017 16:00

    A four-year-old boy suffered life-threatening injuries after being knocked down by a taxi driver.

    The accident that took place last year in February saw the little boy fall under the mini bus which was being driven by Linton Simpson.

     

    The 60-year-old had no idea that he had struck the child, until witnesses started banging on his window.


    Simpson pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention.

    He was fined £85 and was ordered to pay £100 costs and £30 victim surcharge. His licence will be endorsed with three penalty points.
