M5 drunk driver crash leaves Bristol woman with horrific injuries

A Bristol woman suffered devastating injuries after being hit by a drunk driver who was on the wrong side of the carriageway heading into oncoming traffic on the M5. Footage of the "terrifying" car crash has been released following the incident which saw Dorothy Denny drive for more than two miles along the motorway in the wrong direction.

Gloucestershire Constabulary received numerous 999 calls from people reporting a Mini Cooper travelling north on the southbound carriageway of the motorway near Tewkesbury just after midnight on October 5 2022.

Officers discovered a head-on crash near Strensham Services involving the Mini and a Vauxhall Astra, and two lorries which were struck and damaged in the incident.
