| WRECKAGE: The crash near the Castle Practice Surgery Picture/ @CVSHResponse |
POLICE were called to a Castle Bromwich street following a late night car crash.
Officers arrived to find a silver Ford Focus had collided with a lamp post in Hazelhurst Road, overturning and hitting a garden wall.
The incident happened yesterday morning (Friday) at around midnight, with some residents living near the scene of the collision having reported hearing a loud bang.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "A 31-year-old man suspected of being the driver was arrested nearby on suspicion of being unfit to drive through drink or drugs and was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries sustained in the crash. His injuries aren’t life threatening."
Fire crews and the electricity company were also called out amid concerns about the damage which had been done to the lamp post.
The incident comes at one of the busiest times of the year for road traffic teams, who tend to step up efforts to tackle drink driving over the course of the festive break.
