'I’m proof of what can happen. Just don’t drink and drive.'
"I know it’s coming up to Christmas and people want to drink, want to socialise with family and friends – there’s a major football tournament ongoing again – but please don’t do it. It’s as simple as that. I’m proof of what can happen. Just don’t drink and drive.
"It’s changed my life forever, along with members of the public. It’s a had a massive impact not just to myself but to my little girls, my family. It’s affected their lives not only my life.”The driver of the vehicle involved was sentenced to three years, eight months imprisonment and a lengthy driving ban.
Inspector Claire Patterson, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “PC Stephen Wales’ experience is a clear example of the impact drink or drug driving can have on those involved, all three victims in this case have had their lives changed forever.“As we get closer to Christmas, consider the potentially fatal impact drink or drug driving could have on a victim of a road traffic collision.
