Mum, 43, on cocaine flipped her Peugeot 206 in Stockport and ploughed into a house
26.04.2023 - 07:35 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A mum flipped her car while more than six times the drug-drive limit - but said she didn't feel 'under the influence'. Claire Toland, 43, overturned her Peugeot 206 after she lost control when she hit a kerb.
During the incident, on Longford Road West in Stockport, the car continued to slide down the road after flipping onto its roof before hitting a street sign and ploughing into a house.
Toland later failed a drugs test, with a reading showing 323 micrograms of benzoylecgonine (BZE), the main metabolite of cocaine, per litre of blood in her system. The legal limit is 50.

She also tested positive for cocaine itself, with 11 micrograms per litre of blood in her system, the legal limit being 10. At Stockport Magistrates' Court, Toland admitted drug driving.
But she insisted she did not feel 'under the influence' at the time of the crash and claimed she only lost control of her car because she was avoiding someone driving on the wrong side of the road.
She also argued she had taken cocaine some days before the crash and most of it had gone out of her system by the time of the impact. She has escaped with a £120 fine.
Magistrates said it was not clear whether her senses would have been 'impaired' at the time, but banned her from driving for a year. Toland earlier scrapped plans for an appeal to keep her driving licence under the 'special reasons' legal provisions.
Tineka O’Mara, prosecuting, said: "Officers were actually responding to a collision in March 23 last year. The incident occurred when the defendant was driving on Longford Road West in Stockport.
"Her vehicle veered off the road and collided with a kerb which caused the vehicle to overturn.
