Footage of a driver, who was falling asleep at the wheel after he reportedly crashed into the side of a house, has been shared ahead of the New Year to show the dangers of drink driving.

While on patrol on December 30, South Yorkshire Police officers came across a 40-year-old man asleep in the front seat of a car at the scene of a road traffic collision. When officers approach the vehicle, they suspected the driver was over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
