A Liscard woman has admitted to drug driving after a teenager was injured in a crash on Seaview Road.
As reported by the Wirral Globe, Jayne Cuthbert, 58, of Seaview Road, Liscard, appeared at Wirral Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 4 November.
She was charged with causing serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving and driving with a controlled drug above the legal limit, following an incident on Seaview Road on 23 April this year.
Merseyside Police said the victim was a 17-year-old boy who was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his leg and pelvis.
Cuthbert pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving. She also pleaded guilty to driving while above the specified legal limit for THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis.
The court heard she had 3.7 micrograms of THC per litre of blood. The legal limit is 2 micrograms per litre.
She was granted unconditional bail ahead of sentencing and given an interim driving disqualification.
The case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report. She is due back at Wirral Magistrates' Court on 9 December for sentencing.
Police continue to urge people never to drive after taking drugs. In an emergency always call 999.
Separately this week we reported that police are were appealing for help to find missing Liscard teenager Latazia Beardsmore. However, her missing person reporting has since been taken off the Merseyside Police website.
