Security cameras in Wingate captured the
horrifying moment a drunk driver flipped her car while two children and a dog were in the back, with police saying they “miraculously” emerged unscathed.
According to Durham Constabulary, 41-year-old Gemma Trevail was driving her Suzuki S-Cross around 9 am when she collided with a shop front and flipped the car.Trevail was brought into police custody, where she was breathalysed and found to have 105 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of breath, three times the legal limit.Trevail was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, two counts of child neglect, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, driving without insurance, and criminal damage.She admitted the offences and appeared at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court on December 14, where she was banned from driving for two years, police
said.“Trevail’s actions that day were incomprehensible. She showed absolutely no consideration for anybody else when she chose to get behind the wheel of her car that morning,” Inspector Andy Howarth, from Durham Roads and Armed Policing Unit,
said. Credit: Durham Constabulary via Storyful
