According to a Facebook post, when police arrived on scene, they found the driver pulled over on the side of the road, with the car still running and the lights on.

An officer approached the vehicle, and the driver rolled down the window and immediately handed over their keys.

The driver was given a breathalyzer test and failed twice.

Police impounded the vehicle and the driver was served a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition.

Fortunately, no injuries took place during the incident.
