Olympic gold medallist Linford Christie has been found guilty of careless driving after a crash when he drove on the wrong side of the road.

The 51-year-old, of Twickenham, London, was cleared of the more serious charge of dangerous driving.

Aylesbury Crown Court heard Christie had crashed head-on with a taxi carrying newlyweds in Buckinghamshire in May 2010.

The former sprinter was disqualified from driving for 15 months.

He was also fined £5,000 and ordered to pay £1,000 prosecution costs.
IMO, he got off lightly .....
