Breath Test Blows the Lid Off
Police breathalysed the man who blew over the legal alcohol limit. He was promptly arrested on suspicion of drink driving and also for driving without a proper licence.

The suspect was taken to the hospital as a precaution. He is set to be questioned about the incident once cleared.
The road was closed temporarily while the vehicle was recovered and the damage to the roadside furniture was assessed. It has since reopened.
