Woman driver fined for crashing into Aylsham Garden Centre



A drunk driver has been fined for crashing her car into Aylsham Garden Centre in Norfolk and causing thousands of pounds' worth of damage.

Norwich Magistrates' Court imposed the £550 fine on Lorna Hudson, 66, after she lost control of her car last month while over the legal drink-drive limit.

The accident is estimated to have cost Aylsham Garden Centre some £50,000, with stock damaged and phone lines cut. A staff member's car was also written off. No one was injured. 

Hudson, who admitted the charge of drink-driving, was also banned from driving for 18 months and will have to pay £140 costs. 

After the crash, the garden centre staff worked hard to get the business open again within days.
