Spar worker makes quick decision after spotting drunk person about to drive their car

A Spar worker helped prevent a 'potentially serious accident' after spotting a drunk person about to drive their car.

Jade, assistant manager at Spar, saw the member of the public who was 'clearly intoxicated' and knew she needed to stop it from happening.

She was able to stop it and alerted colleagues who then called the police.

Posting on the Ormskirk police Facebook page, police constable Steve praised Jade's 'quick actions' earlier this week.

He said: "I’d like to introduce you all to Jade, Jade is the Assistant Manager at the Spar at Marks Square, Tarleton.
