CCTV footage has shown the moment a drink driver deliberately crashed into the gates of the prime minister's official country estate causing more than £38,000 of damage. Matthew Wootten was nearly three times over the limit when his vehicle hit the entrance to Chequers in Buckinghamshire in June, Reading Crown Court heard.
Senior crown prosecutor Celia Mardon said: "CCTV footage showed that Wootten intentionally drove at speed towards the gates of the Chequers estate."Not only did Wootten cause significant damage to the Victory Gate, but he could also have put the lives of others at risk with his reckless driving." At the time, Thames Valley Police said the driver - who was the only person in the car - had "suffered serious injuries".
