For glamour model, Price received a 16 week suspended sentence at Crawley Magistrates Court yesterday (15 December). The 43 year old was driving whilst disqualified.
District Judge Amanda Kelly said that she could not send Katie Price to prison as she had adhered to court requirments, including attending a rehabilitation programme and not committing any more offences.
The court had been told that Katie Price was driving to visit a friend who was close by, when the crash took place at 6-20 am. No witnesses were identified when her car was later found by a member of the public.
They found Price slumped on the back seat, where they pulled her out of the window.
Speaking of the sentencing, Superintendant James Collis who is head of roads policing for Sussex Police and Surrey Police, said that offiicers are looking into a possible appeal.
He said that this sentencing, "as the judge explained, could have and should have been much worse and, in our view, Price is extremely lucky not to be spending Christmas behind bars".
He also added, "Given the circumstances and her history of motoring offences, it's clear she did not consider the risk of her actions to the wider public or the implications for her own family".
"We are now exploring whether we can appeal this sentence".
Price was given a 16 week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. She was also banned from diriving for 2 years, along with 100 hours of unpaid work, 20 sessions of rehabilitation work with probabtion. She was also fined £213.
District Judge Kelly also told the court that Price has owed £7,358 from previous offences.
"You appear to think that you are above the law", she told Ms Price.
"You have one of the worst driving records I have seen. You have been banned from driving on five occasions", she added. "The public may be appalled to hear that I can't send you to jail today. But the law says that when a person has complied with the terms of their release then you have a legitimate expectation not to be sent to prison today, even though you deserve to spend Christmas behind bars".
