Police did not have to travel far when catching one drink driver who crashed his vehicle in the UK. The man had driven his Nissan into a police station, which resulted in serious damage to the building's entrance. Not content with crashing once, the man reversed his vehicle and rammed it into the doorway at least one more time before the little Nissan proved unequal to the task of bulldozing a police station. Luckily no-one was standing in the doorway when the man crashed, although the structure of the building was inspected following the incident to ensure that there was no risk of collapse.

Minutes later a group of Harley Davidson riders joined those waiting and were followed
