A dangerous driver who left a woman seriously injured by veering into oncoming traffic after taking a cocktail of drugs has walked free from court
Robert Lewandowski was twice the drug drive limit for cocaine, more than twice the limit for cannabis and 16 times the limit for a cocaine breakdown product as he drove to his job as an excavator driver. After twice mounting the verge on a Northumberland road, he then swerved into the opposite carriageway and smashed head-on into the car of a woman.
Newcastle Crown Court heard she was left seriously injured, with two fractures to her spine and a broken sternum and nose. The consequences for her have been wide-ranging and she has still not recovered.
