The Transit driver, Razwan Hussain, of Pilgrim Avenue, Dewsbury, admitted being over the drink-drive limit, aggravated vehicle taking and driving without insurance at a recent appearance at Teesside Crown Court.

However, he pleaded not guilty to two charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was remanded in custody for a trial on January 28 that will be held at Teesside Crown Court.
