Sparks fly as driver falls out car door

A five-month jail term was imposed yesterday on a driver who fell out the door of her car after a drink-driving escapade which saw sparks coming from the front wheel in the early hours of the morning.

Insp Adrian Gamble said the Opel Astra was seen after 2.30am on June 15, 2014, at Curraheen, Cork.

“Sparks were coming from her near side front wheel. She was swerving from side to side, going from one lane to another.
