A man who drank five cans of beer before driving his Range Rover over another vehicle and crashing into a wall has been given a suspended prison sentence. Philip Weston, 51, from East Street, in Long Buckby, was arrested during Northamptonshire Police 's winter drink-drive campaign. He has been banned from driving for two-and-a-half years. Weston was arrested at 22:45 GMT on 6 December 2023 after reports of a road traffic collision .

Northamptonshire Police said he told officers he had lost control of his vehicle as he went round a corner. The car had skidded and travelled over a white BMW M2 series car and, rather than stopping, Weston had tried to drive off. At the scene, Weston told officers that he had drunk five standard-sized cans of Stella Artois beer during the evening and had been driving home after visiting a relative in the Kingsthorpe area of Northampton. He was arrested and provided a breath sample which showed he was over three-and-a-half times the legal drink-drive limit
