Driver banned after crashing into school gates

A man who crashed into school gates has been disqualified from driving for two years.

Jomon Joseph, 35, drove into the gates at Netherhall School in Cambridge at 23:15 GMT on 22 February.

Police said they found Joseph next to his car inside the school grounds, on Queen Edith's Way.

Joseph, of Dean Court in the city, admitted drink-driving and having no insurance or licence. He was also told to complete 180 hours of unpaid work during sentencing at Cambridge Magistrates' Court earlier this month.

Cambridgeshire Police said Joseph appeared to have been drinking and failed his roadside breath test on the Saturday evening.

PC Megan Larkin said: "Getting behind the wheel whilst drunk puts yourself, other road users and members of the public at risk."
