A driver who crashed into several vehicles on the M4 while four times over the legal drink drive limit has been disqualified from driving for 2 years.

Kyran George, 23, of Rochemont Walk, Hackney, was arrested on September 30, following multiple calls to police about his manner of driving along the motorway.

At approximately 8.15pm, George was driving his BMW 318I on the M4 from London heading towards Bristol without any lights.

He collided with three vehicles, before hitting a Land Rover, spinning and coming to rest on the verge.

Police attended and George failed a roadside breath test whilst in the back of an ambulance being checked over.

He was taken to custody where he was found to be four times over the drink drive limit.

George was arrested and charged and appeared at Swindon Magistrates Court yesterday (October 21) where he pleaded guilty to drink driving and was disqualified from driving for two years.

PC Paul Davis, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “Drink driving is a serious offence but driving having consumed four times the legal limit is really disgraceful.

“Putting other innocent lives at serious risk of danger is extremely selfish. There is no place for people like George on our roads and I am pleased he has been given a lengthy driving ban.

“George collided with multiple cars and was so lucky that nobody was injured, or worse, killed as a result of his selfish actions.”

As well as the driving disqualification, George must pay a £114 surcharge and £85 Crown Prosecution Service costs.
