A woman fled after driving into a five-year-old girl with her car while under the influence of cannabis.
Catherine Martin was at the wheel of her red Peugeot when she hit the little girl near a school in Netherton, on September 20 last year. The 29-year-old drove away but was later arrested after her registration was tracked.
Liverpool Magistrates’ Court heard Martin had used cannabis the night before the accident and had not realised it was still in her system the next day. Luke Unsworth, prosecuting, said Martin’s car was travelling on Poulsom Drive in Netherton with another person in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
