A driver claimed he had just one vodka and lemonade when he drove into the back of another car and caused it to flip onto its roof. He failed to stop at the scene and left his victim to be cut out of the wreckage.
Kallum Mogford, 25, was driving an Audi A3 when he collided with a blue Mazda driven by Elizabeth Williams in Newbridge, Caerphilly, on September 24 last year. He had been out drinking in the town's Labour Club that day and drove his ex-partner's car without permission.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday heard bar staff at the Labour Club remembered serving the defendant with one vodka and lemonade before he left. He and friend then got into the black Audi before the collision took place minutes later in North Road.
