Pregnant mum is sent to prison for drink drive car smash

A PREGNANT mum of two has been jailed for two years after causing a horrific road crash while six times the drink limit.

Four members of one family were injured three seriously - when Charlotte Aitken's Audi veered on to the wrong side of the road and smashed into their car head-on.

A sheriff said Aitken, who is 12 weeks pregnant, had been "highly impaired" by the amount of alcohol she'd taken and was lucky no one had been killed.

Aitken, 37, of Cumbernauld, admitted causing serious injury and endangering lives by driving dangerously while over the limit.
