A WOMAN who hit another car while trying to park at a Worcester supermarket has been fined for not reporting the accident.

Mr Dodson said she panicked and left the scene without leaving any contact details and did not report the matter to the police.
She was later arrested and said she had “misjudged the angle and the size of her vehicle”.
Smith, aged 30, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, failing to stop and failing to report and accident.
She was fined £165, given five penalty points and ordered to pay £60 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
