Real estate agent Jason Hynes leaves the Dunedin District Court on Thursday morning, after being convicted and sentenced on a charge of driving dangerously.

A high-flying real estate was brought down to earth after fleeing the scene of an early morning crash.

In the Dunedin District Court on Thursday, LJ Hooker real estate agent Jason Hynes was fined and disqualified from driving following a dangerous driving incident last year.

The company's website said Hynes was top salesperson for LJ Hooker Dunedin/Mosgiel between 2015-18. In 2014 he was third in the company's international auction competition.

But it became a case of going, going, gone when the incident unfolded on Highcliff Rd, Dunedin on August 24, about 2am.

The 35-year-old was driving his white BMW when he crashed into a parked Toyota Corolla, shunting it through a neighbouring fence and as he fled he hit another Toyota.

Hynes continues to drive his damaged vehicle - complete with two flat front wheel tyres - a further 800m down the road.

He returned to his home "and stayed there", Judge Kevin Phillips said.

Hynes, who was not processed for drink-driving, later told police he had three drinks and could not recall how the crash happened,

His counsel, Colin Withnall QC, said his client accepted he made the wrong decision when he was tired, and is "now facing the consequences for that".

Hynes had either lost concentration, or drifted off to sleep.

While the victim did not take part in a restorative justice session, Hynes acknowledged the impact it had on his victims and did not want to see them out of pocket.

That victim, who declined to comment to Stuff outside court, said in her victim impact statement the incident was something "I never have to go through again".

That included an early morning call from police, which she initially thought was her son involved in a crash.

Instead, it was his car that was written-off, and she was left picking up the debris from around her property.

"Where were you?" she asked of Hynes.

The impact of losing the car and relying on taxis for transport was exacerbated by having to drive past Hynes' home each day.

She told the court the real estate agent replaced his own vehicle just days after the crash.

The crash impacted on her son's job and hit the family in the pocket, creating unwanted stress.

Judge Phillips disqualified Hynes from driving for six months, and ordered he pay the woman $2000 in reparations, and a further $500 emotional harm repayment to the other victim.
