Driver whose car overturned on M9 was arrested for drug-driving

Naas Traffic Corps today arrested a driver who lost control of car on M9 as he was under the influence of drugs.

The Nissan hatchback careened across the hard houlder and ended up on its roof in a ditch.

A Naas Garda Station spokesman said: "Never drive under the influence of drink or drugs."

Under the Road Traffic Act 2015, drivers caught with any trace of cannabis, cocaine, or heroin in their system face a €5,000 fine or up to six months in prison.
