A LOWER EARLEY man has been jailed for more than three years and banned from getting behind the wheel for five, after seriously injuring a man working in the road.

Frank Nyantakyi, 34 and of Maiden Place, pleaded guilty to one count of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was sentenced at Reading Crown Court on Friday, June 10.

The jail term is three years and three months, while he is disqualified from driving for five years plus a two-year-and-two-month extension. Nyantakyi will have to take an extended retest when disqualification expires.

The sentence relates to an incident that took place around 9.55pm on Thursday, May 6, last year.

Nyantakyi drove a silver Volkswagen Golf being down a closed lane on the A4 Theale bypass.

The vehicle hit a man in his fifties who was working in the road. He suffered fractures to five bones in his legs and muscle and tissue damage to both legs.

Nyantakyi was charged on Wednesday, July 21 last year.

Other offences relating to the incident were discontinued, but taken into account at sentencing.

Detective Constable Joy Jarvis, of the Joint Operations Serious Collision Investigation Unit, based at Three Mile Cross police station, said: “This was a tragic incident in which a man suffered from serious, life-changing injuries.

“Nyantakyi will now have to serve a prison sentence as a result of this appalling driving and when he is released, he will be disqualified from driving and will need to take an extended test in order to regain his licence.

“Thames Valley Police will never tolerate driving of this nature and will always look to bring offenders to justice.”
