Drink driver Lurgan

A drink driver miraculously escaped any serious injuries following a collision in the early hours of this morning (Monday).

This was the scene (main image) which greeted police on the Lough Road in Lurgan shortly after midnight.

Commenting on the incident, a PSNI spokesperson, said: “Somehow the driver walked away from this with only a few cuts.

“Thankfully he was picked up a short time later and arrested. He was nearly three times the legal limit.

“We are also appealing for witnesses for anyone who may have seen this person driving.

“If you observed a Grey Peugeot 208 driving through Lurgan or on Lough Road at around midnight please contact police on 101 and quote serial 9 of 11/03/19.”
