A drink-driver who crashed a car into an electrical substation causing a fire and widespread power cuts has been sentenced.
Hayley Booth, 32, was arrested in July near Bawtry, South Yorkshire, and was found to be nearly three times over the drink-drive limit.
Officers said her “dangerous and foolish” decision to drive plunged half of Bawtry town centre into darkness and she was lucky nobody was injured.
Booth, of Oxford Avenue, Lincoln, pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle while above the legal limit at Doncaster Magistrates’ Court on 12 August and was handed a 12-month community order and must complete 160 hours of unpaid work.
