A man who allegedly lost control of his truck and ploughed through a McDonald’s car park, smashing multiple cars and crashing into a unit complex, has pleaded not guilty to four offences.

Merrylands’ Saroub Bisht, 23, was travelling on Old Mount Ousley Road on November 5 last year when he allegedly lost control of his truck, which was carrying a load of steel, and drove through a roundabout on the Princes Highway, colliding with a car.

After hitting several more cars, Bisht’s truck allegedly continued into the carpark at Fairy Meadow McDonalds.

The truck allegedly hit at least three cars before pinning a fourth car up against the fence of the North Gate unit complex.

One of the drivers, an 18-year-old female, suffered minor injuries while another female driver sustained suspected fractures.

In February this year, police charged Bisht with two counts of cause bodily harm by misconduct in charge of a motor vehicle, drive recklessly/manner dangerous and negligent driving.

Bisht’s matter was before the court on Tuesday, 16 April but he was not required to appear. He was represented by a solicitor, who pleaded not guilty to all four charges on his behalf.

The case will return to court on May 28.
