Slurring mum was found FOUR times over limit when she smashed into roundabout - as her son, 7, sat in the back

A mum drove her young son to the beach from England to north Wales while four times over the drink-drive limit.

Sadie Smith, of Centurion Drive in Meols in the Wirral, was caught on camera ploughing over a roundabout and into a grass verge. Wrexham Magistrates court heard it was "nothing short of sheer luck" that she didn't cause a serious accident.

Smith, 47, cried as her family sat beside her while the court was shown footage of her almost colliding with a road sign on the A548 in Flintshire in March, with her son, aged seven, in the car with her. Now, the mum has been given a three-year driving ban, reports NorthWalesLive.
