A man appeared in court yesterday accused of driving carelessly while more than five times the drink-drive limit.
Stephen Duncan appeared in private at Peterhead Sheriff Court, facing a charge of careless driving.
The 42-year-old, of 43 Finlayson Street, Fraserburgh, is further accused of failing to provide a preliminary breath test, and driving while under the influence of alcohol.
It is alleged that when he did give a sample, he had 121 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 22mcg.
His appearance comes after emergency services were called to Watermill Road, Fraserburgh on Saturday night after a seven-car crash. Nobody was injured.
Duncan made no plea or declaration during the hearing, and his case was continued for further examination.
