Suspected 'drink-driver' arrested after dramatic Boxing Day smash in Doncaster
A suspected drink-driver has been arrested by police after a dramatic Boxing Day crash in Doncaster which saw a vehicle plough into a telegraph pole.
The man was arrested following the crash in Intake, on Thursday afternoon, a spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said.
Police issued a picture of the damage that was caused by the collision.
The spokesperson said: “Officers have arrested an Intake man on suspicion of drink driving today.
"At around 2.30 this afternoon, officers were on patrol in Intake where they came across a van which had lost a fight with a telegraph pole.
"The suspected driver was located by officers a very short distance away. He was breathalysed at the roadside, and perhaps unsurprisingly to all concerned, he failed.
"The man was arrested on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed limit, and remains in police custody at this time.
"Drink driving will not be tolerated, and enforcement action will be taken against anyone who poses a risk to innocent road users.”
