Car left road and ended up in trees

Laura Dawson (28), Cliftonpark Avenue, Belfast, admitted failing to provide a specimen of breath on January 6 this year. She was fined £200, ordered to pay a £15 offender’s levy and banned for 18 months.

The court was told Dawson refused to travel to hospital with the ambulance service.

She failed a preliminary breath test with a reading of 77 and refused to provide a further specimen of breath.

A solicitor representing Dawson said she had been in a state of distress and it was confirmed she had received broken ribs.

He added police were contacted by a member of the public who went past and saw the accident.
