A drink-driver, who ran over a teenage girl in Bexleyheath, has had his sentencing delayed.
Mark Shelton, 57, of Marden Crescent, Bexley, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and drink-driving charges on July 11.
The 15-year-old victim, thought to be a pupil at St Catherine’s School, was taken to hospital after the incident in Watling Street at 3.20pm on February 9.
The schoolgirl suffered a bump on her forehead, cuts to her legs, a bruised hip and other injuries.
