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 in Pitt Street, Kimberworth, Rotherham.
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.
The force said the man “was drifting in and out of consciousness” and was unfit to provide a roadside breath sample.
Officers then had to help him to a police car as he was unable to stand or walk by himself, the force said.
The driver was deemed unfit to provide a breath sample in custody and was transported to hospital for medical treatment.
The man failed to consent to having his sample analysed and has been reported on summons, South Yorkshire Police said.
