Thinking he was a badger (facepalm) (drunk)



A 61-year-old drink-driver has been jailed for seven years after killing a cyclist she mistook for a badger.

Alison Bowen was more than twice over the drink-drive limit when she struck Paul Novak on the A21 at Robertsbridge in November last year, a spokesperson for Sussex Police said.

She struck him with such force that her windscreen shattered and the front of her Fiat Punto was caved in but later told officers she thought she had only hit a badger.

Bowen then drove off, leaving Mr Novaks body in the road.

She continued in her smashed car until she got to Battle and crashed off the road again.

Mr Novak, 50, of St Leonards, died at the scene.

Bowen, of Battle, pleaded guilty to causing death by driving without due care and attention while over the prescribed limit at Lewes Crown Court.

She was jailed for seven years and banned from driving for two years.

No excuse for drink driving it's disgusting. All drink drivers should lose their licence and be jailed. * +

How fkn drunk would you have to be to make that mistake, a lot more than twice the drink drive limit i'd say. * +

sounds like bs to me, she just didn't want to admit she knew she killed someone and decided to drive off to escape culpability, oh I thought it was a badger (idea) * +
