Sainsbury's fined £1m after store 'booby trap' shattered disabled shopper's jaw

Sainsbury's has been slammed with a £1million fine after a customer sustained life-changing injuries and shattered her jaw due to a store "booby trap".

Patricia Crampton was on her mobility scooter when she drove face first into twine that had been stretched taut between two pillars in the car park of the supermarket.

Prosecutors argued that she could have been decapitated in the incident, which left her needing emergency surgery with titanium plates inserted in her jaw after the twine split her mouth open.
