A 33-year-old man has acknowledged causing significant harm to two individuals through negligent motoring following an autumn road accident.

James Williams, residing in Oak Road, Blaina, inflicted serious injuries upon Kevin Sandercock and Sonia Jenkins along Thomas Ellis Way in Tredegar on 7 November 2025.

The accused was operating a Ford Transit van when the impact occurred, Newport Magistrates’ Court heard.

The court imposed a 12-month community sentence alongside a requirement to complete 200 hours of voluntary labour.

Williams received a two-year driving ban and was instructed to pay a £114 levy together with £85 in court costs.
