A man suspected of drink driving crashed his car into a lamppost on Maldon Road on Monday night (June 21), turning the car onto its roof and smashing the lamppost to the ground.
The 43-year-old-man was taken to hospital and later arrested by police.
Eye witness Danny Israel said: “There was an almighty bang. As I looked in my rear view mirror, to see back at the blind bend, a car was on its roof.”
After the man escaped from the wreckage he was seen running away from the scene with a police officer in pursuit.
