Man claims dropped cigarette caused him to crash carSam Baker/FAIRFAX NZ Bad driving has led to a road worker appearing in court. A Manakau man who drove his car off the road claims a dropped cigarette caused him to crash, but police have their doubts. Just how Justin Benner crashed his car in Manakau was the centre of argument in the Levin District Court on Wednesday. There is no dispute the 30-year-old road worker was driving along Waikawa Beach Rd, Manakau, when the crash happened. Benner was driving the car on the wrong side of the road.
