The father of a 6-year-old girl seriously injured in a quad bike crash has admitted to drink-driving and crashing the vehicle, injuring himself and his passengers.
Daniel McGregor, 28, didn't appear at Hastings District Court today because of medical issues.
His lawyer Scott Jefferson entered guilty pleas to the driving charges stemming from the accident on his behalf.
He entered not guilty pleas to a number of drugs charges he faces which the court heard stem from police enquiries following the accident.
He admitted to driving with excess breath alcohol causing injury, and the reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
