Foxdale man had 'six or seven pints' before driving

A Foxdale man who was over the drink-drive limit when he crashed his car with two passengers inside has been banned from the roads for 18 months.

Shaun Andy Quayle-Dillon of Archallagan Terrace admitted drink-driving when he appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The hearing was told he'd had up to seven pints before getting behind the wheel on Sunday, April 8 and crashing his Seat Ibiza in St John's.

As well as the driving ban, magistrates fined him £750 and ordered him to pay £125 costs.
