A nurse who knocked a man 6ft in the air on a drunken night out, has been struck off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte Brown, 34, drove her black Volkswagen Polo at three-and-a-half times the drink drive limit before she smashed into Mark Davies.<\/p>\n
Self-employed joiner Mr Davies, 48,\u00a0had been walking home from his night out on January 28 when Brown’s VW ploughed into him at around 40mph.<\/p>\n
The father-of-three was left with ‘life-changing injuries’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brown, who has been registered as a mental health nurse since September 2017, was kicked out of\u00a0Club One47 due to her behaviour less than an hour before she got behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Charlotte Brown was jailed for 16 months and handed a two year and eight month driving ban<\/p>\n
She briefly stopped before she drove off and crashed outside a magistrates court as her car flipped on its roof.<\/p>\n
Passers-by attempted to help her following the smash – but she ran away from the scene and was arrested at her boyfriend’s home.<\/p>\n
She claimed to have no memory of what happened until she was pulled from her upside-down vehicle.<\/p>\n
Mr Davies suffered such serious injuries that he spent the following three-and-a-half months after the incident in hospital.<\/p>\n
It caused him severe head and brain injuries, multiple facial fractures, and deep injuries to his thighs.<\/p>\n

Mr Davies was left with\u00a0severe head and brain injuries, multiple facial fractures, and deep injuries to his thighs<\/p>\n
He has also lost the use of his right arm, cannot speak properly, and is unable to walk without support.<\/p>\n
Brown, a mother-of-one who had no previous convictions, was struck off for a minimum of 18 months in a disciplinary hearing by the Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing.<\/p>\n
She had earlier been jailed for 16 months in Caernarfon Crown Court.<\/p>\n
Brown, of Llandudno Junction, pleaded guilty to drink driving, causing serious injury by careless driving and failing to stop after a road accident.<\/p>\n
Defending Lisa Judge said the night was not a reflection on the ‘true Charlotte Brown’ who is a mum-of-one and a nurse.<\/p>\n
The court heard Brown had written a letter of apology to the Davies family.<\/p>\n
Judge Nicola Saffman said they were some of the ‘most serious’ injuries she’d ever seen.<\/p>\n
Brown was jailed for 16 months and handed a two year and eight month driving ban and was ordered to complete an extended driving test.<\/p>\n
