A lorry driver has been arrested near Bridport for drink driving.

Police stopped the lorry last night on the A35.

The driver failed a road side breath test and was arrested.

He remains in custody and will be bailed to attend court at a later date.

A spokesperson for Weymouth & Portland Police said:

"Thankfully his actions didn't result in a serious or fatal accident. One of the Weymouth team was able to drive the lorry to a safe parking place thanks to having the correct entitlements on his licence which he gained in a previous career."
