This is the shocking moment a drunk van driver crashed into a car and careered off a motorway before landing on an adjacent dual carriageway in front of an oncoming car.
Steven Rees would later tell police he thought his level of intoxication on the night had been about "eight out of 10" after drinking shots of spirits and pints of beer. A judge described Rees' decision to get behind the wheel knowing how drunk he was as "extremely worrying", and he said his behaviour had been "selfish and dangerous".
Sian Cutter, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that on the night of March 26 this year a couple were leaving the westbound M4 at the Penllergaer junction in their Ford Fiesta when they felt a vehicle "smash" into the back of them. The court heard Rees' van then passed the car on the driver's side - so close that it smashed-off the wing mirror - before sharply cutting in front of the Fiesta and flipping onto two wheels. From there the van shot across the slip road and left the carriageway before careering onto the adjacent A48 road. Miss Cutter said the van came to rest on its side on the dual carriageway directly in the path of an approaching car, which was just able to stop before hitting it.
