Subscriber only A woman whose own defence solicitor acknowledged her astronomical drink drive reading has told a court she was deeply ashamed of her behaviour, after crashing into a van. With multiple bottles of wine behind her, according to a police prosecutor, Lisa Jane Delaney, 35, on October 1 crashed into a van on her street. Tests would confirm she had a blood-alcohol reading of 0.322 per cent - nearly six-and-a-half times the legal limit - some time after the crash. The Alexandra Hills woman yesterday pleaded guilty to one count of driving while under the influence of alcohol when she appeared at Cleveland Magistrates Court.
