A driver who hit a man in Cheadle and left him seriously injured in the road has been jailed.
At around 7.50pm on Monday the 26th of December 2016, a 40-year-old man was crossing Ashford Road at its junction with High Street when he was struck by a silver A-Class Mercedes, driven by Dightam. The car travelled 60m down the road with the man trapped underneath, before he came free and was left with serious injuries in the middle of the road.
Dightam then drove off. The victim was taken to hospital where he was treated for serious injuries, and is now recovering at home.
Officers launched an investigation and the car was later found abandoned in a car park at Bruntwood Park, Cheadle. It was identified as belonging to Dightam, who was traced and arrested.
Marc Anthony Dightam, aged 33 of Cranford Road, Knutsford, pleaded guilty to serious injury by dangerous driving at an earlier hearing.
Marc was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to two years and eight months in prison and was disqualified from driving for six years and four months.
