Comedian Phill Jupitus has been fined over a hit-and-run car crash.

The Never Mind The Buzzcocks star failed to stop after smashing his Volvo XC60 SUV into a Ford Ranger pick-up truck in Colinsburgh, Fife, last December.

Instead he left the Ford car damaged at the side of the road.

The charge states that his car collided with the Ford, and that he failed to stop and give his name and address to the owner of that car.

The 56-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to stop at the scene of an accident.

He has been fined £300 and given five points on his driving licence after the incident, which happened a few miles from his home.

His not guilty plea to a second charge of failing to report the accident to police within 24 hours was accepted.

Last year Jupitus told how he was loving life in Fife since moving there in September 2017.
