A DRIVER who crashed into seven parked cars has been sentenced.

Kathryn Hill (37), of Slack Lane, Delph, appeared at Tameside Magistrates Court and pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen when asked by the police.

Hill crashed into several cars in Den Lane, Springhead, just after 11pm on Saturday, December 10.


Hill was given a 16-month ban by magistrates, fined £500 and ordered to pay court costs of £130.

Three other people were in the car at the time. Five vehicles were damaged and two ­- a Ford Ka and a Peugeot 3008 ­- were written off.

Resident Gill Felton said: "We had just gone to bed and we heard a bang and then a few more.

"The car ended up in the back of my husband Craig's car. We're so thankful no one was hurt or injured."
