A woman missed her chance to say goodbye to a dying relative after she was caught drink driving while on her way to hospital. Rebecca Wilson had been drinking at her friend's house when she received a phone call from her mum to say that her uncle's condition has deteriorated.
She was urged to come to the hospital so that she could see him one last time, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports. However, shortly after setting off her Vauxhall Astra, the 36-year-old was pulled over by police and arrested when her roadside breath test came back positive.
Her uncle passed away while she was being held in police custody. At the time Wilson was arrested, there was a child present in the car, magistrates at North Staffordshire Justice Centre heard.
