A BMW driver who crashed into railings was found to be over FOUR times the drink drive limit. Darren Marsland, 39, lost control of his BMW at a junction in Hyde before smashing into some railings.
He was then seen repeatedly trying to reverse out, Tameside Magistrates Court heard. Following a failed roadside breath test, he was taken to hospital where he was found to have 345 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 milligrammes.
Marsland, of Hyde, previously pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle when above the alcohol limit, and was handed a suspended prison sentence due to the high reading.
