Tragedy as 'beautiful' mum, 32, died after driving home drunk from night out celebrating
A young mum who got behind the wheel after she had been out drinking crashed her car into a tree and died. Sarah Smith had been celebrating passing her exams to become a paramedic earlier in the evening.
"The vehicle had left the road to its offside, hit the kerb, travelled across the grass then across the junction with Jubilee Court before colliding with a tree," PC Williams said. "There weren't any witnesses but there was some CCTV from a property which showed the latter stage of the collision. PC Williams was provided details of a toxicology test which revealed that Sarah, mum to two boys, had been "significantly intoxicated" at the time of the crash. Her blood alcohol reading was 228mcg which is almost three times the legal limit for driving of 80mcg.
Returning a conclusion of road traffic collision, the coroner added: "Sarah Smith died on October 13, 2022, at the Royal Preston Hospital from injuries sustained in a road traffic collision. She had consumed alcohol before getting into her vehicle."
