A TEMPO man has been banned from driving after fleeing the scene of a collision, Omagh Magistrates Court has heard.
Stephen Armstrong (22), of Ballylucas Road, pleaded guilty to driving without insurance or a licence, careless driving and failing to remain and report an accident.
The court was told that just after 2pm on July 23, Police received a report of a crash at Beattie Terrace, Kilskeery.
