Watch as shocking car crash footage highlights drink driving dangers – ‘Lives are destroyed by this!’
Shocking CCTV footage has been released showing the moment a drink-driver’s car became airborne before crashing into a house in Aspley, Nottinghamshire.
Lindami Mremi, 22, had attended a bottomless brunch before getting behind the wheel of a borrowed Fiat Punto in the early hours of 17 June 2023.
The collision caused more than £4,500 worth of damage to the property on Robins Wood Road.
Mremi was found to be more than twice the legal limit, with a breath test reading of 81 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
The driver had wrongly believed that continuing to eat throughout the evening would keep him under the limit.
Detective Inspector Steven King, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Drink or drug driving is completely unacceptable.
“As a force, our work is very much ongoing to prevent and reduce this risk on our roads as well as catching and prosecuting those who break the law and put innocent people’s safety at risk as well as their own.
“Lives are destroyed by drink-driving. We hope by releasing the shocking footage in this case that people will think twice before deciding to drive while under the influence of alcohol. The next time they decide to do so could be their last.”
