A Chirk man has been convicted for driving a bus in a dangerous manner.

Darren Fleming, 56, of Maes y Parc in Halton near Chirk, pleaded guilty after being charged with driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road without due care and attention.

A hearing at Wrexham Magistrates' Court last week (November 6) was told that Fleming was driving in Wrexham when the incident occurred last year.

It was heard Fleming had been at the wheel of a single-decker bus when he drove in an unsafe manner at the Croes Newydd North Fork Level Crossing, on Watery Road.

Fleming admitted to the offence and was fined £184 and given four points on his licence.

He was also ordered to pay for the cost of the courts.
