A man has been jailed for a road traffic collision which happened on Sloper Road, Cardiff.
The collision happened at around 5.50pm on Sunday, March 24, 2024, during the school Easter holidays.
CCTV showed a speeding grey BMW car mount the pavement, collide with a little girl, and drive off.
Kurtis Dwyer, 35, from Grangetown, was arrested a month after the collision and the car was recovered for forensic examination.
He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, and on Monday, March 3, appeared at Cardiff Crown Court where he was jailed for 14 months.
Officer in the case, Detective Constable Tamsin Hill, said:
“Amazingly the little girl received only minor injuries, but the incident was understandably very frightening for her and her family.
“While we welcome the outcome at court, we acknowledge that the little girl and her family continue to suffer severe emotional impact as a result of Dwyer’s reckless and dangerous actions.”
