Gardaí saw seven cars doing doughnuts in the middle of the GAA pitch in Dunmanway and one of the drivers of a modified Lexus took off on a high-speed escapade of dangerous driving before crashing into a barrier and rebounding into a garda car.

To make matters worse a trace of cocaine was found in the blood of the driver.
