A judge has today delayed sentencing for a drink driver who mowed down two Christchurch pedestrians, breaking both legs of one man, calling for more information on what he called a serious case.
Sarah Jane Arrow, 45, crashed her VW car on the coastal Main Rd at Redcliffs just after 2pm on Good Friday, March 25 this year.
She hit the roadside barrier and the impact sent two pedestrians down a 2m bank onto rocks below.
Pedestrian Ben Appleton was taken to hospital with serious injuries, including two broken legs, extensive left-sided skull fracture, several broken ribs, and internal injuries.
His injuries require ongoing surgery and treatment. The other victim suffered minor bruising and scratches.
