Drunk driver who smashed a man's skull is spared from jail

A butcher who suffered a smashed skull when a drunk driver rammed through locked gates has slammed the soft sentence handed to the thug - who was fined just £200.

Frank Richardson, 21, was waiting for a train when the heavy wrought iron security gates flung open and smashed him in the face.

Drunk driver Benjamin Elvey, 21, was behind the wheel when he rammed his way out of the locked car park.

Frank suffered a smashed skull and a bleed on the brain following the horrific freak incident on April 7 last year.
