Man banned from driving after his car called 999 to report him

A man has been banned from driving after his company car dialled 999 to inform emergency services and responders found he had been drinking. Alan McShane was over the drink-drive limit as he drove home after a night out, a court hearing was told.

McShane admitted driving with a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit, reports ChronicleLive.

McShane, 37, had been driving a Mercedes EQC company car when he crashed, the court heard. Prosecutor Sarah Malkinson said: “On the morning of Tuesday, May 17, officers were asked to attend the scene of a one-vehicle collision on the off-slip of the Central Motorway. A vehicle had collided with the surrounding street furniture.”
