Andrew Ingram - North Yorkshire Police Traffic Cop - posted the shocking photographs yesterday after attending the incident.

He said: "So I was called to an RTC on #WesternBypass tonight and I had a long walk to the car.

"I feared the occupants were seriously injured and dare not look.

"To my amazement the driver had minor injury and no passengers but was very intoxicated."
