Dear NHM users,
On Sunday 14th December at around 4:30pm, officers from Oswestry Response Team B attended a report of a vehicle having crashed and rolled onto its side in the Lower Hordley area.
Upon officers’ arrival they found that the vehicle was indeed on its side and blocking the road, with Shropshire Fire and Rescue also in attendance, who assisted in making the vehicle ‘safe’ by disconnecting the battery.
The driver of the vehicle was able to get themselves out of the vehicle before emergency services arrived and hung around long enough to get a lift to Shrewsbury Custody suite having been arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive due to drink or drugs.
An officer remained with the vehicle until it was recovered from its predicament and the road reopened, with no injuries being reported at the time.
This is another example of what can happen when under the influence of drink or drugs, so why risk doing it when your intention is to drive a vehicle afterwards?!?
Please keep safe, don’t drink or drug drive and arrive home safe. Thank you.
