A Polish farmer is facing jail for being drunk in charge of both a horse and a lorry at the same time.
Leszek Stepien, 62, of Skwierzyna, used his farm horse to tow his broken down truck to the garage but had drunk so much he couldn't steer straight.
The impromptu carriage ground to a halt when the farmer managed to steer straight into the path of an oncoming car, sending the truck tumbling onto its side.
Stepien wasn't about to take the blame for the collision, however. Uninjured, he sprang from the cab and proceeded to berate the poor beast, yelling: "This is all your fault."
Police were less than amused by the bizarre scene that greeted them, and revealed that the foolish farmer faces dire consequences for his flash of inspiration.
"Luckily the horse wasn't injured but the owner is facing charges including animal cruelty and drink driving," said one officer, who revealed that Stepien had drunk enough to put him over twice the legal drink-driving limit.
