This is the shocking aftermath of a car that lost control because the driver was drunk at the wheel.
The car, travelling at speed, veered on the main Warrenpoint Road outside Newry in the early hours of this morning (Sunday).
As a result the car ploughed through a fence before coming to a grinding halt in a shuck almost 150-feet away from the initial impact.
