At around 10pm on 14 June 2019, Howes was driving along Old Road East, Gravesend when he collided with a parked car. Seconds later the vehicle mounted the kerb and drove into a pedestrian who was walking along the pathway. The victim, a teenage girl, was thrown into a nearby garden, colliding with a wall. She sustained serious injuries. Failing to stop, Howes continued to drive along the pavement until his vehicle collided with another car forcing it into a garden fence. The collision was witnessed by a number of members of the public who were able to identify the vehicle and Howes as the driver.
