A drunk Sunderland driver caused a multi-car crash whilst more than three times over the drink-drive limit.
Cable technician, Kevin Wardle was behind the wheel of a company van on March 24 when he ploughed into the back of a driver who then hit the car in front. The crash happened at around 8.40am as the 57-year-old was driving home to Sunderland from CBL Cable Contractors Ltd, in Hartlepool.
Wardle appeared at Teesside Magistrates' Court this week and the court heard he had only managed to travel one mile before the smash.
