Drink-driving crackdown after 690 arrests made

In one fatal incident in February, Tomasz Zylinski caused a head-on crash which killed one man and left three seriously injured.

In the moments after the collision, he was described by a witness as "stinking of alcohol".

Zylinski was later found to be more than three times the legal drink-drive limit and was sentenced to eight years behind bars.

In July, Asadul Karim smashed into the side of a car at 100mph, instantly killing a 36-year-old man waiting at a red light. Karim was jailed for 12 years[1].

More recently, on Wednesday, officers arrested a woman in Huntingdon after she blew 193 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath - more than five times the legal drink drive limit of 35 .

On Thursday, she was charged with drink driving, driving without insurance and without a licence.
