ECHO readers have reacted with shock after a former Miss Liverpool who crashed her car and lied about it kept her licence.
Victoria McInerney celebrated yesterday as she walked from Liverpool Crown Court with the ability to drive despite telling police her Mercedes had been stolen when she actually drove it into a lamppost herself. The sales director and pilates instructor caused thousands of pounds of damage when she smashed into traffic lights on a main road in the early hours of January 21 this year.
She left the scene in a taxi and called the police and reported the car had been stolen from her boyfriend’s address. It was only when police returned later having investigated further that McInerney, who was crowned Miss Liverpool in 2003, admitted her initial account was untrue.
