‘Miracle no one was injured’ says PSNI after man ‘almost hits’ police car in Magherafelt

While on ‘nightlife duties’ in Magherafelt, police say it was a ‘miracle no one was injured’ after an incident involving one man.

Police Mid Ulster said: “Police were on nightlife duties in Magherafelt earlier this morning when this motorist made himself known by almost hitting the police car.

“Given his poor driving skills, he was breathalysed at the roadside. He failed this.

“Needless to say he also failed a further evidential breath test at custody and has been charged to court to explain his poor decision making.
