A warning has been issued to never drink and drive after a collision between a tractor and a car – the driver of whom was over twice the legal drink-drive limit in Co. Down this week.
The incident occurred on Monday morning (September 28), according to members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) based in Co. Down.
In a brief statement, PSNI officers said:
“This morning, police attended a two-vehicle road traffic collision on the Downpatrick Road, Ballynahinch, between a tractor and a car.
“The road was busy as members of the public made their way to work. The driver of this car put others at risk, unnecessarily.
“The message is clear: Never ever drink and drive,” the police statement concluded.
