AN unemployed man has today been charged with a number of driving offences in connection with a crash in Bury St Edmunds.
Two pedestrians were injured following an incident in Kings Road, Bury, at about 3.30pm on January 8.
A short while after the incident, Anton Giles was arrested at his home in nearby Queens Road.
He was today charged with failing to provide a specimen of breath, dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road traffic collision and common assault.
The 23-year-old has been released on police bail to appear at Bury Magistrates Court on March 17.
The two pedestrians involved in the alleged incident, a couple in their 60s and who live in the town, were taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge where they were treated. Both are now now recovering at home.
