A man accused of failing to stop for police before crashing into a horsebox containing a horse has been remanded in custody following his first appearance in court.
31-year-old Julian Drew, of no fixed abode, appeared before Swindon magistrates charged with dangerous driving, driving without insurance, driving otherwise in accordance with a licence and possession of a class A drug on Wednesday.
It follows an incident on Friday 31 July whereby a Vauxhall Zafira made off at speed from roads policing officers on the A3102 heading into Calne. The car then collided with a horsebox in Wessington Park before the driver attempted to flee on foot but was detained and arrested.
The driver, passenger and horse involved in the crash were no injuries in the collision.
Mr Drew was remanded in custody to next appear at Swindon Crown Court on 4 September.
