A MAN has been accused of taking a car without its owner's consent and failing to stop after being involved in an accident with three others cars.

Blake McPherson is alleged to have taken the Seat Ibiza and committed the offences in Millom on August 29 2020.

The 27-year-old, of no fixed abode, was also charged with driving without a valid licence or insurance.

He denied the charges when he appeared at South Cumbria Magistrates’ Court and is due to face Preston Crown Court ahead of trial on March 26.
