DRINK DRIVER JAILED FOR CRASH WHICH LEFT TEEN FIGHTING FOR LIFE Midwife careered off road and ploughed into young footballer leaving him with fractured skull Report by Lynda Roughley A WOMAN drunk driver who left talented young Maghull footballer Alex Moffit with potentially life threatening injuries after her car ploughed into him on a pavement has been jailed. Sarah Hogg, a 50-year-old midwife, from Meadow Lane, Maghull, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving with excess alcohol. She had gone for a drive in the early hours of Saturday, March 23 after falling out with her husband. Her car mounted the pavement on Kenyons Lane, Lydiate, and hit the 17-year-victim who suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. He was in an induced coma for two weeks while his life hung in the balance. Liverpool Crown Court heard on Monday, December 16 that “miraculously ” he has made a good recovery after surgery for a serious knee injury but he may lose his job as an apprentice electrician and may be unable to return to his beloved sporting activities.
