Three people have been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving in Guernsey last night.

One of the motorists stopped was found to be more than three times over the legal limit - with Guernsey Police saying the driver 'nearly collided' with a Police vehicle.

We're being urged to never drink and drive - and get a taxi, catch the bus, designate a driver or walk home instead.

We’ve just arrested a third person on suspicion of drink driving. They blew 110 at the road side, which is roughly 3 times the limit, and were stopped after nearly colliding with a police vehicle.
