Another account from a local paper here:

Although it says he 'clipped the kerb' he did so with sufficient force to set the car's airbags off. That was sufficient for the car's internal safety system to call the emergency service. While in this instance he was in an urban setting and not badly hurt it's easy enough to see how both could be very different.
Even if it offered him an opportunity to cancel he was, at three times the DD limit, probably too fuddled to respond correctly or so slurred BiB had him rumbled.
Zero sympathy from me.
