Reckless Driver Escapes Jail Due to Newborn | Nottingham News

A reckless drunk driver, Joseph Bowen, slammed into a car on a residential street, spun out, and destroyed a pub sign—terrifying pedestrians, including kids near the sidewalk. Instead of staying put, he fled the scene, only to be picked up by his dad. The twist? His partner was in labor with their second child at the time. The judge called it dangerously prolonged driving, praising everyone’s luck that no one was seriously hurt. While sentencing him to 14 months suspended for two years, he’s also ordered to do 200 hours of community service, attend rehab, wear an alcohol monitor for 90 days, and can’t drive for a year—all because his newborn is in the hospital.
