Drink-drive : Estate agent Tina Knowles crashed into a pipe in a petrol station forecourt while drunk . An estate agent faces jail after she crashed her BMW into a petrol pump on a garage forecourt while she was more than four times over the drink-driving limit . Tina Knowles was apparently on her mobile phone when she careered into the petrol station and smashed into a large pipe used to release vapour from underground fuel tanks . The garage in Driffield , Yorkshire had to be evacuated over fears the crash could endanger the public , a court heard . In aftermath of the accident , Knowles , 43 , remained in the car talking on the phone , slurring her words and ignoring the garage attendant . David Ward , prosecuting , told Beverley Magistrates ' Court that forecourt attendant Rebecca Roberts was looking out of her kiosk when she saw Knowles 'shoot across ' in her silver BMW Z4 . He continued : 'It drove across the forecourt without stopping and collided with a substantial metal vapour release pump opposite the kiosk . 'The female driver appeared to be on a mobile phone at the time . Miss Roberts was initially ignored by the female driver . 'Miss Roberts could smell alcohol on her breath . She was very drunk . She could not talk properly and was slurring her words . 'Miss Roberts said to turn off the petrol pumps immediately for public safety . ' The court heard that Knowles was led into the garage 's shop as staff took her keys off her and waited for police to arrive . The estate agent 'became emotional ' after the police were called , Mr Ward said , adding : 'She started sobbing . She said , `` It 's my car . I 've f***ed up . I 'm an alcoholic . '' ' A breath test revealed that she had 152 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath - the legal limit is 35 . Mr Ward said : 'Police were so concerned about the amount of alcohol she had drunk that they sent her to hospital to check for alcohol poisoning . 'They had never seen anyone drink that much before and get in a car and drive . ' Crash : Knowles smashed into a venting pump at this petrol station in Driffield , Yorkshire . Car : The estate agent was driving a silver BMW Z4 similar to this one at the time of the accident . Knowles , from Driffield , pleaded guilty to drink driving and breach of bail after she missed a scheduled court appearance this week because she was in a rehab clinic . The court heard that last year she was spared a driving ban after she was convicted of failing to provide a specimen of breath . Knowles has now been banned from driving ahead of a sentencing hearing next month , which could see her sent to prison . Defending solicitor Rachel Davies said : 'There 's clearly a lot of issues in her life . She freely accepts she 's an alcoholic and needs help and support . '
