Alexandra Finch of John Williams Close, Priorslee, "smelled of alcohol" after the crash on January 5 last year and later refused to give a blood specimen to police, a district judge heard.

The 25-year-old had admitted both offences when she appeared at Telford Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Sara Beddows for the prosecution said: "On January 5 last year, in the morning at around 7.10am, police attended a report of a road traffic collision in Holyhead Road, Wellington.

"A road worker told them that a vehicle driven by Ms Finch had driven through roadworks, hit traffic lights and a stationary works van.
