Footage has emerged of a man driving his car at 100mph off the side of the Humber Bridge. After Jonathan Dent, 32, crashed through the barriers his car landed on the footpath, narrowly avoiding the water. He had to be cut from the mangled wreckage of the vehicle, and suffered a number of injuries. Grimsby Crown Court heard that the crash caused £11,000 worth of damage to the bridge, and put members of the public ‘at severe risk’. Dent had reportedly been having issues in his personal life at the time, and had driven his Misubishi L200 4×4 into the barriers deliberately – although it had not been planned. Dent then drove towards the Humber Bridge instead, thinking a drive would help to calm him down. When asked by police why he had driven over the side of the bridge, he replied: ‘I don’t know, I had probably just had enough.’ Dent admitted dangerous driving, and was sentenced to three months in prison, suspended for two years. He was also disqualified from driving for three years. Sentencing him, Recorder Bryan Cox QC said a prison sentence was ‘justified’ but, given the circumstances, ‘not appropriate’. | Metro News
