A DRINK driver collided with a police car while more than four times the legal alcohol limit, Selkirk Sheriff Court has been told.
Steven Fleming was leaving the Walkerburn Sevens in a van when he was involved in a collision on the A72 road on May 26.
But as he drove away from the scene he collided with a stationary police car injuring two police officers.
The 28-year-old of Cowford Court, Innerleithen, pleaded guilty to driving with a breath/alcohol count of 91 microgrammes - the legal limit being 22.
He also admitted driving a van dangerously and at excessive speed.
Fleming was banned for 12 months - reduced from 16 months due to the guilty plea - and ordered to carry out 60 hours unpaid work.
