Man pleads guilty to failing to stop after serious crash in Harrogate
A man has pleaded guilty to failing to stop and report a serious crash on Harrogate’s Cold Bath Road last year.
Harris Hendry-Hussain, of Swinton Court, Harrogate, appeared before Harrogate Magistrates Court this morning charged with three offences.
The 21-year-old, who spoke only to confirm his name and address, was charged with driving without insurance, failing to stop after a road accident and failing to report the accident.
The prosecution told the court Hendry-Hussain was driving a Volkswagen Golf on the morning of the incident on March 6, 2022.
At 3.10am, police were called when Hendry-Hussain’s car crashed into two parked cars on Cold Bath Road.
The prosecution said a male, who was a passenger in the Volkswagen, was left at the scene and required hospital treatment for neck and back injuries.

It added the 21-year-old was later identified on CCTV fleeing the scene of the crash.
In a statement at the time, North Yorkshire Police said it was only by “sheer luck” that no one died as a result of the collision.
Hendry-Hussain pleaded guilty to all three charges put to him in court this morning.
Harrogate Magistrates Court adjourned the case for sentencing on May 11.
