The PSNI has shared shocking footage in which a suspected drink driver swerves into the direction of oncoming traffic, narrowly missing a number of vehicles.
In the video, a motorist can be seen driving on the wrong side of the road and on several occasions narrowly misses oncoming cars who had to take evasive action to avoid collision.
The incident happened around lunchtime on Monday on the Granville Road, Dungannon , and one man was arrested.
Highlighting the seriousness of the situation, a PSNI spokesperson posted on Facebook : "We are sick and tired of arresting drink drivers in this district on a daily basis.
"We regularly say, ‘Another potential killer off the roads’ it may appear to be a sound bite, but watch this footage filmed by one of you guys from Mondays drink driver arrest on the Granville Road and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
"This has to stop, everyone has a role to play, us, you and the courts. The stigmatising of drink drivers urgently needs to be ramped up within families and amongst friends.
"Let's get the roads cleaned of these selfish individuals."
A PSNI spokesperson added: "Police charged a 46-year-old man with driving with excess alcohol in breath. He is due to appear at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 25 September.
"As is normal procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the PPS."
