Jailed for Woman Driver of Fatal Crash While Under the Influence of Alcohol and Drugs

Rachael Boardman, a 43-year-old woman, has been sentenced to six years in prison and banned from driving for 13 years after causing a fatal car crash while intoxicated. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when Boardman crashed her car into a tree at high speed. She had been drinking heavily and taking drugs earlier in the evening.
