A former Premier League footballer has been jailed for 18 months for dangerous driving after a three-car crash left a man with a fractured elbow.
Ex-Sheffield United striker Marlon King was driving a Porsche on the A46 near Newark in Nottinghamshire when the crash happened in April last year.
The 35-year-old victim was airlifted to hospital after the collision.
King, of Torkey, Lincolnshire, was jailed in 2009 for sexually assaulting a woman and breaking her nose.
The Jamaican international has a number of other previous convictions including for dishonesty, drinking and driving and other motoring offences, including a prison sentence for handling a stolen car, while playing for Gillingham in 2002.
King, whose previous clubs include Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest, Watford, Wigan, Coventry City, Hull City, Leeds United and Middlesbrough, pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving at an earlier hearing at Nottingham Crown Court.
He has been banned from driving for three years.
