A post on PSNI Cookstown Facebook site, posted yesterday, said: "Not even 9am this morning and we found ourselves dealing with the mess left by a drink driver in Cookstown.


"Slap bang in the middle of the school run and this drink driver is on the road, collided with another motorist and left a trail of destruction."


The post adds that "Mid Ulster crews are either catching drink drivers or attending collisions caused by them on a near daily basis".

They add: "It’s never been acceptable to drink and drive and it isn’t now, we need to see a change in the mindset and immediately."
