Shocking footage shows the moment a drunk Maserati driver smashed his £70,000 supercar into a set of traffic lights - right in front of stunned police.
The sozzled motorist had been waiting at the junction of Bristol Street and Bristol Road in Birmingham when the crash happened in October last year.
Council cameras captured the Maserati Levante pulling off in an attempt to turn right but losing control and ploughing straight into a set of railings.
Unluckily for the driver, a police car was also waiting at the junction and promptly breathalysed the owner of the 187mph luxury silver motor.
He was found to be twice the legal driving limit and has now been slapped with a 12 month driving ban and £2,190 in fines.
WMP Traffic shared the footage on social media and wrote: "This clip shows the dangers of drink driving.
"The driver of this Maserati was double the limit when he crashed in front of one of our patrols on Bristol Street, Birmingham and was arrested.
"He was found guilty and was banned from driving for a year and fined a total of £2,190."
