A BANNED driver who crashed his car with two other occupants in it has been jailed for eight months at Selkirk Sheriff Court.
Twenty-seven-year-old Kelsey Searle, of no fixed abode but is from Berwickshire, was also disqualified for another four years and ordered to re-sit the extended driving test.
Searle pleaded guilty to charges of driving while disqualified, dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident and no insurance.

A not guilty plea to a fifth charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice was accepted by the Crown.
The jail sentence was back-dated to Friday, November 5, when Searle was first remanded in custody in connection with the case.
