Andrew Orr, 18, of Hillside Close, Clitheroe, was banned from driving for 12 months and fined £150 with £60 costs by Blackburn magistrates after pleading guilty to driving with excess alcohol.
The court heard that a police officer on his way home after completing his shift at 3am saw a damaged car at the side of Mitton Road.
Orr was in the driving seat and told the officer he had crashed after an animal ran in front of him.
