A young driver flipped her car on to its roof after hitting a bollard on her way to work. Paige Cannon, from Long Eaton, had drank "three-or-four gin and lemonades" in the early hours before waking up after six hours sleep and causing the accident on her way to her job.
As reported by Derbyshire Live, Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court heard how the 20-year-old woman told police she struck the road sign while looking down to change gear as she drove to work. Now she has been banned from the roads for more than a year.
Freddie Sail, prosecuting, said police were called to a road traffic accident in Derby Road, Long Eaton, at around 8am on February 19. He said when officers arrived they found the car on its roof and blocking the road, adding that Cannon had managed to get out of the Peugeot 108 and "appeared to be shaking".
