Overview
- Oxford Crown Court handed Wright an 18‑month prison sentence suspended for 20 months after he admitted dangerous driving, driving without insurance, possessing diazepam, and failing to provide a specimen.
- Thames Valley Police published CCTV of Wright stumbling in a Headington pub garden before driving, along with body‑worn camera footage from the crash scene.
- The April 20, 2024 collision on the A44 at Yarnton injured two people in the other vehicle, while Wright sustained serious injuries and was placed in an induced coma.
- The sentence includes a five‑year disqualification with an extended re‑test requirement, £2,000 compensation to victims, and a nine‑month nightly curfew from 7pm to 5am.
- Judge Michael Roques said Wright posed a high risk to the public and narrowly avoided immediate custody, as police reiterated their warning not to drink and drive.
