Motorist charged with drink driving after Berrow accident

-

A man was arrested and charged with drink driving after crashing his vehicle into an electricity pylon in Berrow earlier this week.

Burnham-On-Sea police rushed to Barton Road, close to the junction with Church House Road at 12.15am on Saturday (July 26th) after nearby residents raised the alarm when they heard a loud crash – and then saw the upturned vehicle pictured here.

Police spokesman Wayne Baker told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “A vehicle had been in collision with an electricity pole and overturned.”

“Following police enquiries, a 33-year-old man from Bath was arrested at a nearby holiday park and taken to Bridgwater Police Station where he was charged with drink driving, driving while disqualified, driving with no insurance, and assault.”

The man was detained to appear before Sedgemoor Magistrates. The police helicopter was also launched to help officers deal with the incident.
