Taxi Driver Banned After Death Crash


A taxi driver, whose vehicle was involved in a fatal collision, has been banned from the roads for a year after he pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court.

Brandon Leo Smith, 60, (pictured) of Colyton Road, East Dulwich was placed on a twelve-month community order and will have to complete eighty hours community service work as well as receiving the driving disqualification.

Robert Frys died as a result on injuries he received in Long Road, Clapham on January 20, last year.

Smith was also ordered to pay £200 costs.

Smith, the director of BLS Taxis Ltd, was charged with causing the death of Mr. Frys by careless or inconsiderate driving without due care and attention in Long Road at the junction with Rookery Road.
