A driver who injured Rangers star Jermain Defoe after crashing into him has avoided jail.
James Turner, 25, drove dangerously in Balashgray Road, Jordanhill, Glasgow, last September.
Turner’s BMW M4 crossed a central reservation and collided with two vehicles on the opposing carriageway.
The Peugeot 308 and Land Rover Sport then collided with a Mercedes-Benz A 200.
Court papers state: “caused damage to said vehicles and injury to Jermain Defoe and Nicole Leonard.”
Defoe, 39, was in action that day having scored in a 5-0 win at Ibrox against Aberdeen.
A trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court was set to take place in January.
But Turner, of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, pled guilty in an accelerated hearing.
He was fined £370 and received four penalty points.
