Two passengers also got in.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  She accelerated at speed as she travelled down Duke Street.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  As she drove, she collided with Hasan Aksu\u2019s car, parked on the street.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Mr Aksu, who was inside the vehicle, had injured his right leg and bruised his ankle on impact. The car door was also damaged.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Milligan continued driving until she collided with another parked car. This was empty but the crash caused damage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The East Kilbride resident kept driving and smashed into another parked car, then a lamppost. This caused significant damage to her vehicle as well as the lamppost.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  One of the passengers broke his left arm, while the other had a slight abrasion to his upper torso.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  When 999 crews arrived and spoke to Milligan, they noted she was clearly intoxicated.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  She failed a roadside breath test and was taken to Cathcart station, where she provided two breath specimens.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  95 micrograms of alcohol was found in 100 ml of her blood.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowtimes.co.uk\/news\/scottish-news\/25547466.man-due-court-pedestrian-struck-vehicle-glasgow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Man due in court after pedestrian &#8216;struck&#8217; by vehicle in Glasgow<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The 42-year-old appeared at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowtimes.co.uk\/news\/25209744.glasgow-sheriff-court-news-interviews-updates\/?ref=au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glasgow Sheriff Court<\/a> this week after she pleaded guilty to causing serious injury to Mr Aksu and one passenger by dangerous driving.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  She also admitted to colliding with three cars and a lamppost while carrying two passengers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Her lawyer stated: &#8220;She has very limited recollection of events because she consumed a concerning amount of alcohol. She had been drinking for six hours at that point and was in a state of intoxication.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I couldn\u2019t say why she decided to get in the vehicle. This is very much out of character for her but she has had minor traffic violations before.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;She is very much against the idea of getting behind the wheel once having consumed alcohol.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The solicitor also explained that Milligan lost her job as a result of the incident.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He added that his client is apologetic and understands the gravity of the offence.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Sheriff Colette Gallagher said: &#8220;I was quite astonished when I heard the narration. I am concerned you didn\u2019t stop when you collided with the first car.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;You are fortunate that you and the children were not seriously harmed. No doubt this has a significant impact on them, this is a very serious matter indeed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;It passes the custody threshold. You had children in the car.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Milligan was sentenced to a community payback order and placed under supervision for two years.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  She was also ordered to pay Mr Aksu \u00a31200 and complete 300 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Finally, she was disqualified from driving for 38 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cheryl Milligan was at the Louden Tavern on March 16 this year, watching a football game and drinking.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":508643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-508642","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115393505709477879","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
