A LORRY driver has been banned from the roads after crashing while over the alcohol limit.
Stuart Brian Tolley admitted dangerous driving and drink-driving when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford on October 26.
The court heard Tolley had been driving a MAN heavy goods vehicle on the A480 at Mansel Lacy on November 11 2019 when he was involved in a crash with a car.

The other vehicle, a Suzuki Gran Vitara, was damaged, and the occupants injured, and a breath test showed 49-year-old Tolley had 41 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
Tolley, of Church Road, Hereford, received a 12-month community order and must complete 200 hours of unpaid work.
He was disqualified from driving for 20 months and must pay costs of £300 and a £90 victim surcharge.
