A man has been found guilty of drink driving after crashing his lorry down a hill - blocking the road and causing major disruption.
It happened at Blubberhouses on Tuesday.
51 year old Jacek Browski from Poland blew 92 micrograms of alcohol in 100 milligrams of breath – almost three times the legal limit.
The road was closed for most of the day, causing significant disruption in the area.
He was remanded into custody immediately and put before York Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (19 April) where he pleaded guilty to driving over the prescribed limit and was disqualified from driving for 23 months.
