Woman crashes outside rugby club at double alcohol limit

A woman crashed a car while at double the alcohol limit. Sophie Aherne from Cardiff was arrested after losing control of her car near Llantwit Major rugby club.

Prosecutor Beth Tucker told Cardiff Magistrates' Court a local resident heard a "loud bang" at around 10.10pm on November 26 last year and saw what he believed to be a male behind the wheel of a car which had been crashed near the Boverton Road club. But when police arrived it was 20-year-old Aherne sitting in the driver's seat.

Ms Tucker said: "Police say keys were in the ignition and the defendant was intoxicated and uncompliant. She said she had been driving but would not give a name. On the way to custody she was very uncompliant with officers and is said to have spat five or more times in the back of the police van. This caused a bill of £106.09 to have the van cleaned."
