A DRIVER who crashed into a ditch then dozed off had fifteen times the “accidental exposure” limit of cocaine in his bloodstream.

Matthew Walker, 39, only woke when police arrived around 4am.

A court was told he tried to reverse his Nissan Qashqai out of the ditch near Chester but his wheels just span.

Dad-of-two Walker, a motor firm manager, was banned for four years by magistrates in Mold.

He also got a 12-week suspended prison sentence after he admitted drug-driving.

The court was told Walker had not expected to drive that night.
