Boxer Amir Khan arrives at Bolton Crown Court
13 April 2012
Amir Khan was cleared today of dangerous driving when he sped through a red light and knocked down a pedestrian.
The world lightweight title hopeful reached a top speed of 47mph as he went through traffic lights in the wrong lane in Bolton town centre.
Geoffrey Hatton, 55, suffered a broken leg when he was hit by Khan's BMW 6-series convertible on a pelican crossing.
The jury at Bolton Crown Court agreed with Khan's argument that his driving was careless but not dangerous.
