A drinking driver has been banned from the roads after crashing into a McDonald’s restaurant in West Sussex, causing severe damage.

Taylor Steele has been banned from driving for two years after Buck Barn Services crashed on the A24 near Horsham on November 24.

Steele, 19, of Ashington, failed a breath test, which showed it contained 101 micrograms of alcohol per 100 milliliters of breath — nearly three times the legal limit of 35 micrograms.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said the teenager had taken the term “drive-through” restaurant “a bit literally”.

They said: “In an interview with the police, Steele admitted that he had been drinking beer in a bar prior to the accident, and they added that he did not know why he was driving or where he intended to go.”

In addition to the driving ban, Steele was sentenced in Crawley Magistrates’ Court to a 12-month community order requiring him to perform 80 hours of unpaid work, and ordered to pay costs of £85 and £95 surcharges to the victim.
