Disgraced Farmer and Footballer Flees Crash Scene

A disgraced farmer and decorated footballer fled the scene of a car crash that caused an eight-hour power outage, 15 days before facing court over animal cruelty charges.

The incident occurred when the driver, Joseph William Dare, lost control of his Toyota Hilux, which contained empty cans of premix whiskey. Dare was unable to be breath tested as he left the scene and failed to report the incident.

Dare's case was heard without his presence, as he failed to face court.
