Careless driver distracted by drunk falling on pavement

2 December 2016

A driver hit a car after being distracted by a drunk woman on the pavement, Stornoway Seriff Court has heard.

 

Nadine Occhiochius of Stornoway previously pleaded guilty to careless driving.

 

The 23-year-old trainee chef had just finished work and was driving along Cromwell Street when she spotted a drunk girl falling on the side of the pavement, her lawyer told the court.

 

Distracted by trying to see if the woman had injured herself, she hit a parked car, added the solicitor.

 

Sheriff David Sutherland fined Occhiochius £250.
