Bournemouth midfielder banned from driving after coffee shop crash

Jordon Ibe was involved in an incident in Plaistow back in July

A Premier League footballer who crashed his Bentley into a coffee shop causing thousands of pounds of damage has been banned from driving and fined £7,500.

Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe, 24, also struck a Mercedes car when he smashed into The Pantry on Plaistow Lane in Bromley, south east London, shortly before 5am on July 30.

Ibe, who drove off after stopping briefly at the scene, admitted a charge of careless driving and was found guilty of one count of failing to stop after an accident at a court hearing in February.

He was handed a 16-month driving disqualification and 12-month community order at a sentencing hearing at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

District judge Catherine Moore also ordered him to pay a £7,500 fine and £500 compensation to those affected by the crash, as well as a £181 surcharge and £775 in costs.
