A VAN driver has been jailed by magistrates after knocking a man off his motorbike during a crash in Great Sankey. Jim Loveridge collided with the biker while travelling down St Mary’s Road at the junction with the A57 Liverpool Road. Thankfully, the victim only suffered ‘light injuries’ as a result of the crash, which one witness said could have been a lot worse had traffic been heavier. Loveridge, of Pringle Street in Rochdale, was arrested by police on nearby Station Road and charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident and driving without insurance. The 39-year-old was convicted of the offences in his absence following a trial at Warrington Magistrates’ Court in December, but he continues to deny the charges.
