“Checks on police systems found that his licence had expired and was therefore uninsured.”

Baltuska, of Grosvenor Road, Wisbech, was sentenced to eight weeks in prison, suspended for a year, and handed a three-year driving ban after admitting drink driving, driving without a licence, and driving without insurance at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (20 May).

PC Clare Petrou, who investigated, said: “Baltuska’s actions have left multiple people having to pay for the damage caused by the collision, and it is fortunate that no one was injured.
