Mum was 'distracted by baby in back seat' before collision at Nutts' Corner, court hears
A mum who caused a collision in the Nutts' Corner area was "distracted by her baby in the back seat", a court has heard.
The two-vehicle crash took place on the Moira Road around 1pm on Sunday, September 28 last year.
Elizabeth Montgomery, aged 26, of Stracam Corner, Belfast, admitted driving without due care and attention.
The defendant was not present at Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday, but a guilty plea was entered on her behalf by her defence barrister.
The lawyer told the court the defendant had been distracted by her baby in the back seat.
Six penalty points were imposed along with a £250 fine.
