Woman jailed after horrific Adelaide crash
A woman who slammed into two drivers while she fled police in Adelaide has been jailed.
Tina Beaumont was unlicenced and under the influence of methamphetamine when she caused a crash as she tried to out-run police in the suburb of Hillcrest.
One of the injured drivers, Bianca Radny, was sent careering into a Stobie pole during the crash in January.

Radny, who was in court to see Beaumont sentenced to four years jail today, described the crash as "pretty traumatic".
"Especially because I didn't see it coming towards me or anything… but I'm just glad I'm alive," she said.
The force of the impact lifted one of the cars half a metre into the air.

Beaumont was also banned from driving for six years.
She must serve at least two years and seven months of her sentence behind bars.
