Rauhan Munir Aziz is due to appear at Shrewsbury Crown Court in November in relation to a crash which happened on the A41 Hinstock Bypass on September 9 last year.

The 23-year-old, of 630 Fox Hollies Road, Hall Green, Birmingham, appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court yesterday for a plea and trial preparation hearing which was adjourned.

He is charged with causing serious injury to Peter Welch by driving a mechanically propelled vehicle, namely a Vauxhall Astra, dangerously.

He is also charged with using a motor vehicle on a road without third party insurance.

The injured man suffered lifelong injuries to his arms, back and legs.

Aziz gave no indication of a plea at the initial Telford Magistrates Court hearing in August.

He has been released on bail to appear at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Friday, November 22.
