Drunk Driver Launches Off of Roundabout
Drunk Driver With Toddler In Car Hits Roundabout In Peterborough. A drunk-driver who launched her car in the air after failing to negotiate a roundabout has been sentenced for two driving offences. Tania Chikwature, 32, of Butterfly Way in Coventry, was driving her grey Nissan Qashqai on the A606 in Peterborough with her 19-month-old son. The car was launched 14ft (over 4m) into the air. Her 19-month-old son was left hanging upside down in his car seat and was pulled out of the wreckage by a passing motorist. The infant was shocked but unhurt. The court heard how Ms Chikwature had been drinking vodka the night before and a vodka bottle was found in the car. She refused to give a breath sample at the scene, but, using a blood sample she later agreed to give in hospital, police calculated that she was over three times the legal limit. Ms Chikwature, a married stay-at-home mother, denied she had an alcohol problem and insisted she did not feel drunk when driving. Lorry driver Richard Jones, who witnessed the crash and had previously driven for the fire service for 15 years, said it was "one of the most dangerous pieces of driving he had ever seen, and described the scene as one of "utter devastation". He also said that at no point had Ms Chikwature asked after the welfare of the child or refer to him in the aftermath of the crash. Ms Chikwature, who pleaded guilty to drink-driving and dangerous driving, received unspecified injuries in the accident. The judge told her it was "by luck and certainly by no judgement" that she was not facing more serious charges and handed her a three-and-a-half month jail sentence, a three-year driving ban and ordered her to pay £115 costs. |
