Crash driver was over cocaine and ecstasy limit

A driver who crashed his car which ended up on its roof was found to be over the drugs limit.

Ashley Gardner of Ronague Road in Castletown appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 26 year old admitted being over the legal limit for cocaine and ecstasy and possessing ecstasy.

The court heard Gardner lost control of his Ford Focus at Fisher Hill on Shore Road in Port St Mary on December 30 last year.

Tests later proved positive for the class A drugs and a gramme of ecstasy worth £40 was found in his car.

Gardner was bailed on condition he doesn't drive, and will appear for sentencing on June 18.
