Jury hears conflicting accounts over roadworks incident in Milford Haven

A NEYLAND man has appeared before Swansea Crown Court accused of driving dangerously through temporary roadworks and running over a traffic management worker’s foot.

Mark Crane, 45, of Honeyborough Grove, Neyland, denies a charge of dangerous driving following an incident on Hamilton Terrace, Milford Haven, on December 10, 2024.

The court heard that Ian Lloyd was working as a traffic management operative at roadworks on the street and was manually controlling traffic using a stop-and-go sign.

Giving evidence to the jury, Mr Lloyd said he had turned the sign to “stop” to halt traffic and allow vehicles travelling in the opposite direction to proceed.

He told the court that he saw a grey Toyota estate approaching and did not initially recognise the driver until the vehicle stopped beside him.

Mr Lloyd alleged that Crane then “aggressively took off”, driving over his foot as he moved away. The jury also heard claims that the manner of driving caused other motorists to take evasive action.

Asked about the injury, Mr Lloyd said his toes hurt from pressure against the steel caps in his boots but confirmed he did not seek medical treatment.

Crane, giving evidence in his own defence, told the court that he and Mr Lloyd were neighbours and described their relationship as “not a positive one”.

He said he had been travelling to a dog-walking job when he encountered the temporary traffic controls.

Crane told the jury that Mr Lloyd appeared distracted and was “looking around” rather than concentrating on traffic management. He said he checked for oncoming vehicles himself and believed it was safe to continue.

He denied driving dangerously and told the court he believed Mr Lloyd was standing on the pavement as he passed.

Crane also claimed he believed Mr Lloyd struck his vehicle with either the stop sign or his fist during the incident.

The trial continues at Swansea Crown Court.
