Sparks fly from car as driver falls out door

Sparks were seen coming from the front wheel of a car in the early hours of the morning as it swerved from side to side — and the driver was so drunk that she literally fell out the door of the car onto the side of the road.

Inspector Gary McPolin said the Opel Astra was seen after 2.30am on June 15, 2014, at Curraheen, Cork.

“Sparks were coming from her near side front wheel. She was swerving from side to side, going from one lane to another,” said Insp Gamble.
