Watch drink driver smash into dad’s new car as he went for fish and chips

Wayne Raynor was left with a broken wrist and a brand-new car written off

This footage shows the devastating moment a drink driver smashed into a dad’s brand-new car as he was heading out to buy fish and chips. Wayne Raynor was left with a broken wrist and a brand-new car written off after a Tracey Mackey ploughed into his Kia Sportage.

Dad-of-four Wayne said he dreads to think what could have happened had he taken his 14-year-old daughter with him like she’d asked.

Mackey appeared in court this week, where she admitted driving with alcohol above the limit and dangerous driving, Teesside Live reports.

Labourer Wayne, lives in Thornaby, North Yorkshire, but was visiting his parents in Eston on August 18 this year. He made the fateful decision to head out to get fish and chips for the family’s tea when the unthinkable happened.

He said: “I was just crawling to the junction and out of nowhere the car just hit the front of my car.” CCTV of the incident shows the force at which Mackey’s vehicle hits his at a junction in Fabian Road, Eston – sending both vehicles careering into the road.

He said his blue Kia Sportage was less than a month old and now the family is without a car while the insurance claim is sorted out.

While Wayne was left injured, he is aware the situation could have been worse. He said: “My daughter was saying she wanted to come, but she didn’t even have her shoes on and I said ‘I’m not waiting for you’. I dread to think of her being in the car. It could have been so much worse.”

Wayne said he wants to speak out to highlight the dangers of drink driving and added: “These people still seem to think they can get away with doing it.”

Mackey, 57, who lives on Fabian Road, appeared before Teesside Magistrates Court on Tuesday (December 9) and admitted driving a Citroen car over the legal alcohol limit. The court heard she had 129 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood – with the limit being 80 microgrammes. She also admitted dangerous driving.

Mackey was banned from driving for 36 months and given a community order to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work in 12 months. She was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a victim surcharge of £114.
