Anna Mary Cheney, of Huntingdon Road, Thrapston was driving the Iveco vehicle in July last year when it collided with another vehicle in Brigstock Road, Stanion.

The court heard that personal injury was caused to the driver and the other vehicle involved was damaged.

But Cheney, 37, left the scene without handing over her name or insurance details to the other driver. She then also failed to report the incident to the authorities within the statutory 24 hours.

She appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court last week to plead guilty to the incident.

Cheney was given six points on her driver’s licence and ordered to pay a £320 fine, a £128 victim surcharge and £110 in costs.
