According to court documents, Lloyd, of Lady Lane, Hadleigh, admitted two counts of causing serious injury through careless or inconsiderate driving and one charge of drink driving. The case was discussed before Suffolk Magistrates' Court on July 9.
It was found that Lloyd had 151 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 per millilitres of his blood. The legal driving limit is 80 milligrammes.
Lloyd was disqualified from driving for 22 months. He was also handed a prison sentence of 18 weeks, which was suspended for 18 months.
Lloyd was also ordered to pay a surcharge towards victims' services of £154 and court costs of £85, a total amount of £239.
