Man arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after crash near Telford

A man was arrested by police who attended the crash at the Sutton Maddock Island in the early hours of Thursday.

A spokesman for West Mercia Police said they had seized the car after arresting a driver who failed a breath test.

The spokesman said: "Officers attended a single vehicle road traffic collision in the area of the Sutton Maddock Island. The driver was asked to take a roadside breath test and was found to be over the legal limit, at which point he was arrested for drinking and driving.

"Officers at the scene contacted one of our partner agencies and arranged for recovery of the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle has been reported for the driving offence and will be facing the consequences in court."

Police have also urged people to report vehicles they suspect are not taxed.

The spokesman said: "If you believe that a vehicle does not have tax, you can check on the DVLA website, you can also report vehicles without tax direct to the DVLA.

"You can also report untaxed or uninsured vehicles to the Police on 101. The Police have the power to seize untaxed vehicles in certain circumstances and will do so to help keep our roads as safe as we can."
