David Pakes was six times over the drug drive limit when he ploughed into beloved granddad Czeslaw Rozal
A grandad who had moved to the UK for a better life was mowed down by a drug driver who was over six times the limit.
At the police station he provided a sample of blood which was 307 nanograms of benzoylecgonine per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 50 ng. Prosecuting, Andrew MacIntosh said that on Monday, August 23 2021, Pakes was driving towards Heywood on Bridge Street. He had pulled down his sun visor due to the sun being low in the sky.
Pakes was arrested at the scene, and after providing a positive roadside ready for drugs, admitted that he had taken cocaine on the Friday before, but it had not affected him.
