Crash coach driver named
Thursday 6th September 2007, 11:48AM BST.
The National Express driver arrested on suspicion of drink driving after a coach crash on the M1, has been named as Les Weinburg from West Bromwich.
The 34-year-old was arrested after emergency services cut him free from the wreck of his upturned single decker coach on Monday.
The Birmingham to Stansted bus crashed after it allegedly clipped a kerb as Mr Weinburg drove into the Newport Pagnell service station, on the M1.
But his mum, 60-year-old Jane Weinburg, has denied he is a drinker.
Speaking at her Dudley home, she said: “I can’t believe that he would do anything that stupid. He knows that with a job like his you can’t drink.”
