Woman banned after coming to partner's aid following crash with tractor
A woman who was concerned about her partner after he was involved in a crash with a tractor on a rural Shropshire road, has been banned from driving after she turned up at the accident while over the legal limit.
Hayley Norman of Willow Street, Ellesmere had been celebrating at home after getting a new job on March 18, when she received a call from her partner who said he had been involved in an accident with a tractor.
The 44-year-old turned up at the site of the crash on the A528 Harmer Hill in Shrewsbury in her Vauxhall Corsa, Telford Magistrates heard on Tuesday.
"She seemed very agitated and very aggressive and was trying to locate tractor driver to blame him for the collision," Hannah Baddeley, prosecuting, told the court.
"She went up to the ambulance where her partner was with police officers who smelled alcohol," she said. "She swore at the officers and her speech was slurred."
