A driver wept in court as he was jailed for drug-driving and crashing head-on with another car. Jason Chambers was behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Tiguan after drinking and taking cocaine and cannabis.
Chambers crossed Saxondale roundabout onto Grantham Road, Bingham, and attempted to overtake a lorry in lane one. But he lost control, his car crossing the central reservation and ploughing into the other car, injuring both occupants at around 10pm on March 3, 2021.
The passenger, who had a fractured sternum, bleed on her brain and ligament damage, was unaware of the smash as she was looking at her phone. She was surrounded by airbags and the smell of smoke and had to crawl out of her husband's car which he had been driving.
