Derbyshire drink driver arrested after ‘running out of talent’ and crashing on busy A-road
A drunk driver was arrested after crashing their car on one of Derbyshire’s major A-roads.
On Monday, August 15, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit were called to reports of an incident on the A38 northbound at Watchorn.
In a tweet, a DRPU spokesperson said the driver “had a few too many sherbets” and “took a gamble on driving through our patch.”
“They ran out of talent on a relatively straight stretch of road before demolishing about 200 metres of dense undergrowth and trees.”
The motorist was subsequently arrested for drink driving.
