A HUNGARIAN lorry driver who crashed his HGV in Colchester's Dutch Quarter has been fined.

Daniel Gyongyosi, 47, was following sat nav instructions telling him to travel along St Helen's Lane when the vehicle crashed into a house.

This afternoon he was fined £120 ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 surcharge, for which he only has to pay £40 because of time spent in police custody, at Colchester Magistrates' Court.

Six penalty points were also added to his licence.
