A DRINK driver who crashed and fled the scene in Winchester has been banned from the road.

Isaiah Jacob, 21, crashed and damaged a property, Chantry Mead, and then failed to stop.

The court heard he drove a car on Bereweeke Road on September 8 when alcohol in his breath measured 57 micrograms, above the legal limit of 35.

Jacob, of Paddock View, Littleton, near Winchester, was fined £350 for the excess alcohol and £250 for failing to stop. He was also ordered to pay a £35 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

His 12-month ban will be reduced by 91 days if he passes an approved course by May 9 2018.

Another charge of failing to give his name and address after an accident was dropped by the prosecution.
