A HEREFORDSHIRE man has been jailed after crashing into a house.

Wayne Warner admitted one count of dangerous driving when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard the 33-year-old had been behind the wheel of a BMW 320D which was being driven dangerously before crashing in Leominster's New Street on May 8 last year.

Pictures published in the aftermath of the crash showed the BMW had caused serious damage to a house, partially demolishing one wall.

Magistrates said Warner had admitted that he was driving too fast and that the resulting damage was so serious that only a custodial sentence could be justified.

Warner, of Waggoners Way, Hereford, was jailed for 20 weeks and handed a 16-month disqualification from driving.

He must also pay a £128 victim surcharge.
