A 45-year-old man will spend the next 60 days in jail. Paul Hemming pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing bodily harm.
This after an accident in February of last year left a woman with serious injuries.

The Sun reports the female driver suffered permanent damage to her left eye, shifted vertebrae and a shifted pelvis.
