Former Brookside Star Louis Emerick Sentenced for Car Accident Injuring Two 12-Year-Old Girls

Louis Emerick, a former Brookside star, has been given a suspended jail sentence after hitting two 12-year-old girls with his car.

Emerick, 65, admitted causing serious injury by careless driving in Wallasey on October 2nd, 2022.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated that Emerick "was not speeding but admitted he couldn't see clearly because of the sun so he should have slowed down".

The actor was handed a 26-week prison sentence, which was suspended for 12 months, at Wirral Magistrates' Court.

The actor is best known for his role as Mick Johnson on the Liverpool-based soap Brookside, but has appeared on a number of other shows, including Doctors, Last of the Summer Wine, Casualty, Coronation Street, Silent Witness and Zapped.

Emerick stayed at the scene and called the emergency services after the accident.
