A teenage drink-driver who reversed into a police car after leaving a nightclub at 4am told police she was fleeing a nightclub sex pest.

Keyleigh Lane, 19, left a nightclub in Worcester at around 4am to escape the man and got into her car which was parked nearby.

Police officers spotted Lane and drove their patrol car to box her in after becoming suspicious.

But Lane then reversed her Peugeot 209, hitting the side of the police car in the process.

When she was breathalysed by police she was found to be almost twice the drink-drive limit.

Lane, who admitted drink-driving, has now been banned from the roads for 18 months.

Her lawyer told Worcester Magistrates' Court this would mean she could now lose her job as a carer.

The court heard the incident took place after Lane had been out in Tramps nightclub in Worcester on September 23 this year.

Mark Turnbull, defending, told the court: 'Miss Lane went to Tramps nightclub and was not intending to drink.

'She was with friends who kind of encouraged her to have a drink and she did.

'She isn't much of a drinker. She has borderline personality disorder and it doesn't sit well with her medication.

'She was in the club. There seems to have been a male who started to show her some attention that she doesn't want.

'She isn't encouraging or welcoming. It's become quite overbearing, trying to touch her, trying to kiss her.

'She decides she wants to leave. She wants to get away from this man.' 

The court heard Lane left Tramps nightclub in Worcester at around 4am to escape the man and got into her car which was parked nearby.

Police officers attempted to stop Lane when she reversed into their vehicle.

When arrested and cautioned Lane replied: 'I know, I know.'

A breathalyser test showed Lane had 67mcg per 100ml of breath, almost twice the legal limit of 35mcg.

Lane, of Stourport, Worcs., admitted driving with excess alcohol and was banned from driving for 18 months on Thursday.

She was also fined £120 and ordered to pay £135 costs and a £34 victim surcharge.

Mr Turnbull told the court the driving ban would mean Lane would lose her job as a carer.
