Drink-drive warning after motorist found asleep at wheel of crashed car Police have shared footage of a driver who reportedly fell asleep at the wheel before crashing into a house as a new year warning about the dangers of drink driving.
South Yorkshire Police said officers in the force area came across a 40-year-old man asleep in the front seat of a car which had hit the side of a house.
Temporary Roads Policing Inspector Brandon Brown said: “We are releasing this footage on New Year’s Eve to shows road users just how dangerous drink driving can be.
Body-worn camera footage shows officers approaching the car, they notice that the driver smells of drink and then they see bottles of alcohol on the front passenger seat.
Officers then had to help him to a police car as he was unable to stand or walk by himself, the force said.
