Ivan Luis Alves Fernandes (22), of St Helier, has been charged with taking and driving away a van without the owner’s consent, driving without insurance or a licence and failing to stop and report the accident after he crashed into a granite wall at the top of La Mare slip.
Firefighters and paramedics were called to Grande Route de la Côte at about 4 am on Saturday after the car ploughed into the wall in front of two people waiting for a taxi.
Fernandes, who recently returned to the Island, suffered minor injuries and was kept in the General Hospital overnight and discharged on Sunday.
