October sentence for man who injured biker

A Union Mills man will be sentenced in October after admitting seriously injuring a teenager biker. 

26-year-old Ryan Kneen, of Close Y Lhergy, hit the 16-year-old on Peel Road on April 15th. 

At Douglas Courthouse on Friday last week he pleaded guilty to causing serious bodily harm by driving dangerously and driving whilst disqualified. 

Kneen also admitted taking the Renault Clio that he was driving on the night without the owner's consent. 

Social Enquiry Reports have been requested before Kneen is sentenced on October 13th - there was no application for bail and he was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
