Business woman who crashed car while drunk 'accidentally drank vodka and orange for breakfast'

Michelle Butterworth, 37, was found to be almost twice the legal alcohol limit following a car crash but evaded a driving ban after she convinced a court she had drunk orange juice for breakfast - not realising it contained vodka.
