A Hampshire man has been charged with four counts of attempted murder after a car containing four children smashed into the front wall of a pub.
Owen Peter Scott, 29, of Heather Road in Fawley, is currently in custody and will appear in court today.
It comes after a grey Dacia, containing a 29-year-old man, two girls aged eight and seven, and two boys aged 21 months and nine months, was travelling in south Yorkshire in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
As the car approached a junction, it left the road, crashing into the front wall of the Traveller’s Inn in Barnsley.
All four children remain in hospital with serious conditions.
Scott has been charged with four counts of attempted murder in relation to injuries sustained by the four children, as well as dangerous driving.
