Her mother Diane Thomas said her daughter was literally around corner from her flat as she were heading home and as she came around corner she lost lost control of the car.

She told the Packet: "Just lucky she didn't hit the revellers outside the pub. She swerved her car to avoid the public.

"She only just bought the estate less than a week ago, it was a two litre Mondeo,and maybe it were too big for her to handle.

"She is doing OK apart from broken bones in foot and had a dislocated ankle which has been fixed by doctors.. she will probably have a cast on for next few months."
