Man charged with driving-related GBH

A man accused of seriously injuring another man by drunk-driving has been charged in Magistrates' Court.

Jarryd Dillas is alleged to have caused grievous bodily harm to Chauncey Durham through driving while impaired by drink or drugs on Harbour Road, Warwick, on August 16, 2007.

Dillas, 23, a university student from Store Lane, Sandys, faces additional charges of impaired driving and driving with excess alcohol on the same date, in the same vehicle.
