Video: Dash-cam captures drink driver crashing in Wigan

Police have released dash-cam footage of a drink driver as a stark reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence.

The footage was taken by a member of the public and shows a driver swerving between lanes, braking erratically and driving without lights on.

At one point the driver goes straight over a mini roundabout on the wrong side of the road.

He eventually crashes into a parked vehicle on Victoria Street in Newtown, Wigan, and flips onto its roof.

The driver blew three times over the limit and was disqualified from driving for 26 months.
