Lemington driver went on 'demolition derby' after crashing into parked and moving cars and fleeing scene

A driver went on a "demolition derby" after crashing into parked and moving cars then fleeing the scene.

Jane Bell was behind the wheel of a "distinctive" white Range Rover when she ploughed into stationary vehicles in Gosforth, Newcastle, before also smashing into a further car as it was being driven down the Great North Road. Although the impact of the collision caused both vehicles to come to a stop, Bell made off from the scene, a court was told.

However, due to her distinctive Range Rover and the fact police had already spoken to her earlier in the day about an unrelated matter, the 39-year-old was easily tracked down. She was taken to hospital but, while receiving treatment, refused to give a sample of blood for police to analyse.
