Cocaine-fuelled motor menace injured woman by ploughing into her car in Sunderland

A cocaine-fuelled motor menace injured a woman when he ploughed into her car while undertaking at speed.

Liam Holmes, who has a previous conviction for driving while under the influence of drugs, proved he'd failed to learn his lesson when he once again got behind the wheel while high on an illicit substance. A court heard that the 26-year-old was seen to travel at speed in his Hyundai i20 before undertaking in a cycle lane and smashing into another vehicle.

Holmes then ploughed into a further several parked cars before fleeing the scene on foot. The female driver of the first car, a Fiat 500, was left with a cut to her right eye, which needed stitches, as well as swelling to her face and body.
