A member of the Armed Forces seriously injured a couple by dangerous driving when she ploughed head-on into their car.
Kirsten Robb was travelling from Albemarle Barracks, in Northumberland, when she overtook another vehicle on the crest of a hill on the Military Road. However, the 30-year-old didn't see the victims' car coming in the opposite direction and smashed into the front of it, a court was told.
The male driver was trapped in the wreckage and had to be cut free by the fire service and taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary. His passenger, as well as Robb, were also badly injured.
