A woman drove her car into another vehicle after drinking "a large measure of vodka". Linda Newbury was well over double the alcohol limit when she crashed in Barry.
Prosecutor Mike Williams told Cardiff Magistrates' Court that a police officer was on routine patrol at 8.15pm on November 21 last year when he was asked to attend a crash scene on Kenilworth Road. A Ford Fiesta had been in collision with a Mazda6 which had sustained damage to its front nearside. A member of the public informed the officer that Newbury had gone into a nearby care home.
"The officer spoke to the defendant, who indicated she was sorry and she had accidentally hit a car," Mr Williams added. "The officer formed the opinion she was under the influence and carried out a breath test."
