A DRIVER tested positive for drugs after a roadside stop.

North Yorkshire Police say they stopped a Ford Fusion on the A19 and the driver failed a drugs test.

Traffis constable David Minto said: "We stopped the car on the A19 at Escrick near York and found the front nearside tyre was in a very poor state.

"The driver then tested positive on a DrugWipe for cannabis.

"We obtained a blood specimen and it's been sent away for analysis."
