Warrant out for Wigan crash suspect

Buhus Sorin, 19, of Barnsley Street in Gidlow had been charged by police with causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving without insurance and driving otherwise in accordance with a licence.

He was due to appear at Bolton Magistrates’ Court this month after being released on police bail following his arrest.

But he did not appear and justices issued a bench warrant for his arrest and for him to be brought before the court.

Sorin was initially detained following a three-vehicle pile-up on the afternoon of Monday July 27 this year at the junction of Mesnes Road, Kenyon Road and Walkden Avenue East outside Sherrington’s bar, in which a 33-year-old was gravely injured and has since required extensive hospital treatment.

Horrifying CCTV footage of the crash and its aftermath was later circulated on social media.
