Adelaide driver who crashed and injured her sons while under the influence of drugs given home detention
ABCA District Court judge has shown leniency to a mother, who seriously injured her three sons in a meth-fuelled crash in the Adelaide Hills, because she was fleeing domestic violence. Key points: Kathleen Craig was under the influence of drugs when she crashed Her three sons were injured in the crash The judge said domestic violence was not an excuse to drive while using meth Kathleen Norma Craig, 27, was given a two-year and 10-month sentence with a non-parole period of one year and five months after she admitted to three counts of causing harm by dangerous driving. "You had a significant period of time to pull over, but obviously decided that was not convenient for you," Judge Press said. "Your children's injuries were not life threatening – but nor were they minor," Judge Press said. Judge Press said Craig – a sporadic drug user since the age of 18 — was now drug-free and had sought treatment and trauma counselling since the crash.
