Daily Record November 10, 2008, Monday POUNDS 150K FOR TAXI HELL SCOT A SCOTS backpacker left brain-damaged after a taxi driver tried to mow him down has been awarded pounds 150,000. Andrew Mackay, 28, was left in a coma after the run-in with a cabbie on the first night of a trip to Australia. The cabbie threw Andrew out in a row over a fare in June 2003. But then he suddenly reversed his cab, hitting a bus-stop pole which fell and struck Andrew's head. Now a judge at Sydney district court has awarded Andrew damages after civil hearings there and in Glasgow. Andrew, of Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, was starting a year's travelling when he was attacked. _______________________ |
