Watch: Drunk woman almost crushed man's head after flipping car
A man standing nearby was sent sprawling into the road
This is the horrifying moment a drunk woman narrowly avoided crushing a man's head after flipping her car outside a pub.
Sharon Gall, 32, was caught on camera reversing her red Volkswagen Golf at speed outside the Cock Inn in Bartley Green, Birmingham.
Shocking footage shows Gall smash into another car, causing it to overturn in the early hours of February 17, 2024.
In the chaos, a man standing nearby was sent sprawling into the road as Gall's car flipped over, missing his head by inches.
Police swooped and arrested Gall, who was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where a sample of her breath was analysed.
Tests revealed she had 171 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, more than double the legal limit of 80 milligrammes.
Birmingham Crown Court heard last week that the crash happened after Gall, from Northfield, was involved in an altercation outside the pub after being ordered to leave.
Video footage shows a group of people surrounding her car moments before she suddenly shot backwards in reverse.
Despite the terrifying near-miss, the court heard the man she almost crushed was not injured.
Gall admitted dangerous driving and drink-driving.
She was sentenced to 15 months in jail, suspended for two years, and was banned from driving for 18 months.
Jobless Gall was also ordered to complete 25 days of rehabilitation activity and serve a 90-day alcohol abstinence period.
