A MAN in an emotional state after failing to bring his girlfriend’s grandfather around during CPR drove straight out of a side junction and crashed into another vehicle containing a woman and her daughter.

To make matters worse Aaron Troy Roberts, 24, was a banned driver after he had been disqualified three weeks earlier.

Roberts received a suspended prison sentence after he admitted driving while disqualified, careless driving and driving with no insurance following the crash near Trelogan, Flintshire, on February 12.

He received a six week prison sentence suspended for a year and he was placed on 20 days rehabilitation.

He was fined £100 with £85 costs and an £85 surcharge and he was banned from driving for 19 months.

Deputy district judge Meirion Lewis-Jones said that day Roberts was faced with “wholly unexpected and amazingly traumatic” events not only for him but for others.

He had been trying to resuscitate his girlfriend’s grandfather, sadly to no avail.

That, Mr Lewis-Jones told Flintshire Magistrates Court, would have been a terrible experience for him.

Roberts, of North Drive in Rhyl, said he and his girlfriend had a three-week-old baby at the time, he had a call from her and she was in a panic.

Without thinking he jumped in a car and drove from Penyffordd to Llanasa to get her.

Solicitor Huw Roberts, defending, said it was a classic case of a young man whose heart was in the right place and he had done things for the right reasons but he was in a panic and did not properly engage his brain.
