An Ollerton man who drove his car at high speed the wrong way up the A1 in the early hours of New Year’s Day crashed headlong into an oncoming car and seriously injured the driver.

Mihails Gerasimovs was driving a black Lexus CT north on the southbound carriage at East Markham, at 5am, said Nicole Baughan, prosecuting.

Numerous other vehicles flashed their lights to warn him, but he crashed headlong into his victim's car.

That driver was trapped inside his car and the impact left him with serious complex fractures of his arm, a broken foot, two spinal fractures and his stomach lining separated from his colon.

Gerasimovs, aged 42, of Headstock Close, Ollerton, admitted dangerous driving causing serious injury and drink-driving when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court today, July 18.

The prosecutor said the offence was so serious it exceeded their sentencing powers.

Magistrates imposed an interim driving ban and bailed him to appear at Nottingham Crown Court, for sentencing, on August 22.
