A new driver took her friend's car out to buy cigarettes before crashing into a petrol station and leaving an innocent man in hospital. Tehya Lee was driving on the A48 near Cowbridge last year when she overtook another car before veering off the main road and into the Esso petrol station forecourt – smashing into a petrol pump and narrowly avoiding a man who was filling his car before speeding out the other side of the station.
The force of her driving sent Clayton Borek flying back into his car leaving him "covered in blood" and with multiple injuries, a sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court was told. Jac Brown, prosecuting, said witness Jennifer Hopkins had been driving with her two children in the car on the A48 on on August 14, 2021, at around 50-55mph when Lee overtook her at a "considerable speed" in her friend's blue BMW.
