Andrew Nicholls, former­ ly of Blackburn, said he had stopped his car when he saw the Renault coming round a bend at “a ridiculous speed.” Pathologist Dr,S. Banik


(prosecuting) said that police stopped Farmer n e a r the bypass at Barrow. Tests revealed a blood-alcohol content of 160mg — double the per­ mitted limit. Mr J. B. Parker, pres­


iding, described the case ‘the worst we have


come across in a long time.”


Renault had crossed to the wrong side of the road, s traddling the centre line. “I expected it to pull into its nearside,” said Mr Davey. “I don’t remember if 'I braked or swerved. It happened in a very brief moment.” Another witness, Mr


Whalley Road, Clitheroe, told the East Lancs Coroner, Mr George Graham that he and Mr Metcalfe, a workmate at Ribblesdale Cement, had visited pubs in Clitheroe and Whalley on the even­ ing of the accident. Mr Davey told how the

said that Mr Metcalfe had more than three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood when he died at the wheel of his car and was “quite drunk.” Recording a verdict of
