A Wigan man accused of failing to tell police who was driving a car when an offence was committed has walked free from court after the case against him collapsed.

Mark Higgins, 34, of New Street, Platt Bridge, had denied refusing to disclose the identity of Ford Kia on February 28 last year.

But before a trial could take place at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates' Court, the prosecution offered no evidence and the accused was told he was free to go.
