A drunken mother in Britain whose car flew four metres into the air after she smashed it into a concrete roundabout with her toddler in the back was jailed yesterday.
Tania Chikwature, 32, was more than three times the drink-drive limit when she lost control of her Nissan Qashqai as she drove to a wake, a court heard.
The defendant drank vodka the night before and a vodka bottle was found in her car, according to prosecutor Corinne Soanders-Silk.
A lorry driver who witnessed the crash in December last year said he could not believe they had survived, and that the vehicle had cleared the roundabout and hit a tree before landing on its roof, reported the Daily Mail.
