Drink-driver arrested in Farnworth after zooming towards oncoming traffic

Greater Manchester Traffic Police arrested a drink driver in Farnworth after the Audi Q8 motorist was seen heading towards oncoming traffic on Hall Lane.

Around 11pm on Saturday night, officers stopped the vehicle after the man at the wheel was witnessed driving erratically. He refused to provide a sample of breath, so was arrested on the spot.

He was then taken into custody at Bolton. A breath test revealed that he was more than twice the legal drink-drive limit.

People are reminded to dial 999 in an emergency, otherwise police can be contacted on the 101 non-emergency number if you see anything suspicious.
