Shocking moment a drink driver, 44, in a BMW narrowly misses a father carrying his baby son on the pavement
- Badrul Khan, from Peterborough was one-and-a-half times over the alcohol limit
- He was driving in the wrong lane and then swerved across oncoming traffic
- He obliterated a telephone box on which a father and his young son were leaning
A drunk motorist driving in the wrong lane almost ploughed into a father carrying his baby son when he swerved in front of oncoming traffic in Peterborough.
Shocking CCTV video shows the moment Badrul Khan mounts the curb and narrowly misses the pair, who are leaning on a telephone exchange box on the pavement.
Footage from two different angles shows Khan's black BMW 320d careering across the road toward the father, who spots the vehicle just in time and sprints to safety with his son in his arms.
Seconds later, the car obliterates the box and hits comes to halt against a lamp post, exactly where they had been standing.
Khan, 44, had been driving on the wrong side of the road in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire at about 11am on June 19, when he tried to swerve back into the correct lane.
Trying to correct his mistake, he drove right over the left-hand lane and mounted the pavement.
Khan then ditched the vehicle and fled home, but was arrested around 40 minutes later.
Officers administered a breath test, during which Khan blew 52µg (microgrammes) per 100ml - one and a half times the legal alcohol limit of 35µg.
