A DRINK DRIVER has been arrested after smashing into traffic lights and knocking them over in Farnworth.
The 43-year-old was driving a silver Kia Sportage down Plodder Lane at 11.30pm on Saturday.
He crashed into the traffic lights at the junction with Harper Green Road.
Traffic officers gave the man a roadside breath test and he blew 107 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath - more than three times the drink drive limit of 35mg/100ml.
He later provided a reading of 89 in custody.
If you see anyone driving suspiciously, call police on 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
