A lorry driver has been charged and has lost his job after being arrested for drunk driving.

Warwickshire Police intercepted the HGV at Warwick Services after receiving reports it was swerving across all the lanes on the M40.

"He was arrested and was taken to custody where he gave his evidential samples, he was found to be well over three times the legal limit with a lower reading of 119," a force statement said.

"This incident is truly shocking, the consequences of driving in that state don't even bear thinking about."
