Mum driving to Flamingo Land with kids ran red light and ploughed into Audi

A mum was driving her kids to Flamingo Land when she ran a red light and ploughed into an Audi causing the car to flip and driver to fear she would die.

Susan Blundell caused the crash at Switch Island and seriously injured another motorist, leaving her fearing she was going to die. It came after the call centre worker had failed to notice the traffic signal, having been distracted by her sat nav.

Liverpool Crown Court heard today, Tuesday, that the 43-year-old was driving her two children, her partner and his child to the Yorkshire theme park in her white Vauxhall Mokka when she flouted a red light and crashed into two other cars which were turning right onto Broom's Cross Road from Dunnings Bridge Road. The signal had been red for seven seconds at the moment Blundell, of Newfield Close in Thornton, illegally passed through the major junction at around 3.45pm on September 12 last year.
