Driver three times drink limit flips car into garden

-

A drink-driver was arrested after crashing into a Ryedale garden, prompting a police warning not to drink and drive.

The incident happened in Yedingham on Saturday September 24, during the night.

A driver lost control of his vehicle which landed sideways in a garden.

Police breathalis­ed the driver, who was three times over the limit.

The limit is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitre­s of breath, and the driver blew 104.

Nobody was injured, including a dog which was travelling inside the vehicle.

North Yorkshire Police said the crash follows a similar incident three weeks ago, when another vehicle crashed on the same corner. Police have shared the story to social media with a prompt to not drink and drive.

"Thinking of popping out for a couple of drinks later?

"Please don’t let this happen to you. Don’t drink and drive.”
