A 'WADDINGTON woman who- crashed into an oncoming car and a stationary vehicle after drinking wine at a children’s party was later found to be nearly, three times the legal limit.


’ -


Blackburn magistrates heard that" 41-year-old nurse Joanne Green had


a child in the car with her at the time of theincident. Green, of Waddow View, pleaded


guilty to driving with excess alcohol. She was banned from driving for 22 months and fined £400 with £75 costs.'


■ Mr ; Andrew Church-Taylor


(defending) said his client was a woman of previous good character who had found the whole proceedings brought against her “humiliating and degrading” . He said she had been given wine


after going to collect one of her chil­ dren and had not fully realised how


much she had drunk. “ If she had realised she would not have contem­ plated getting behind the wheel,” said Mr Church-Taylor. ■ He said Green works as a nurse at


Slaidburn Health Centre and was concerned how the ban would affect her employment.
