Mum, 43, on cocaine flipped her Peugeot 206 in Stockport and ploughed into a house
A mum flipped her car while more than six times the drug-drive limit - but said she didn't feel 'under the influence'. Claire Toland, 43, overturned her Peugeot 206 after she lost control when she hit a kerb.
But she insisted she did not feel 'under the influence' at the time of the crash and claimed she only lost control of her car because she was avoiding someone driving on the wrong side of the road. Tineka O’Mara, prosecuting, said: "Officers were actually responding to a collision in March 23 last year. The incident occurred when the defendant was driving on Longford Road West in Stockport.
"The reading was 11 micrograms per litre for cocaine, which is slightly over the prescribed limit of 10. But the result for BZE came back as 323 micrograms per litre, the legal limit is 50." "She became friendly with a quite heavy cocaine user and began using cocaine which she said eased the symptoms of depression and enabled her to socialise. She had not taken cocaine on the day of the accident and indeed the reading for that is only one microgram over the limit of 10 micrograms. There only needs to be a small amount of cocaine to fall foul of that.
