A drink driver who walked away from the scene after crashing her car was located nearby still holding the vehicle's keys.
Chloe Thomson was behind the wheel of her Citroen C1 when she collided with another car in the early hours of the morning on Plessey Road, in Blyth. However, instead of wait at the roadside, the 25-year-old student and her passenger walked off, a court was told.
Police attended and conducted a search of the area and found Thomson nearby, still holding the keys to her vehicle. She immediately confessed to being the driver and was arrested after failing a breath test.
