Gardaí arrested a driver after a dangerous incident saw a car mount a footpath after allegedly ignoring officers.
The vehicle in question was approaching a checkpoint before attempting to avoid it.
After a brief moment, the car then mounted a footpath in order to try and escape Gardaí.
They were subsequently stopped - and the driver failed a breathalyzer test.
They were found to be four times over the legal limit.
A spokesperson for An Garda Siochána said: "Naas Roads Policing Unit arrested this driver for drunken driving after they turned away from a checkpoint & mounted a foot path to avoid Gardaí. They were stopped & were found to be 4 times over the legal limit. Proceedings to follow."
Meanwhile, another driver had a miraculous escape after colliding with a road sign during a shocking incident in Cork over the weekend.
The single-vehicle crash took place just off the N20 on Sunday evening.
A Range Rover left the road and hit a road sign, with the sign lodging into the car's windshield.
Amazingly, the glass didn't smash and no one was hurt.
An ambulance and Gardaí both attended the scene.
A spokesperson for the Gardaí said: "Gardaí attended the scene of a single vehicle collision at Waterloo, Blarney on May 30, 2021 at around 7.30pm.
"The car is believed to have collided with a sign post at the side of the road. No injuries were reported to Gardaí at the time of the collision."
