Adam Golebiewski-crash driver appears at Banff Sheriff Court charged with four driving offences

A teenager has appeared in court charged with causing a car crash that saw a young goalkeeper lose both his legs.

Arran Paterson’s case was heard in private at Banff Sheriff Court on Wednesday, January 8.

The 19-year-old is facing four charges over the crash which happened in Macduff during the early hours of Sunday, September 8, last year.

Deveronside goalkeeper Adam Golebiewski (18) was one of four people travelling in the car which collided with a wall on Union Road.

He suffered life-changing injuries in the crash and had both of his legs amputated.

Paterson is accused of causing serious injury by driving dangerously, driving a vehicle without consent, driving without insurance and drink-driving.

Paterson made no plea during the hearing, was committed for further examination and granted bail.

The date of his next court appearance is to be confirmed.
