Police officers said:
‘This car crashed on Doncaster Road Carlton In Lindrick on 11 December 2022.
‘The driver after crashing the car then fled leaving the crashed car in the fog and at the mercy of other road users.
‘Team 2 tracked the driver down who was breathalysed and arrested on suspicion of drink driving and failing to stop at scene of a collision.
‘The driver has been charged to court for both offences.
‘It is never acceptable to drink and drive. If you’re drinking make arrangements to get home. We will find you and we will prosecute you. It is just luck on this occasion no one was hurt.
The fatal four are the most common causes of road accidents, yet, very easy to avoid. Stay within the speed limit, don’t chat on your phone, always wear a seatbelt and never drive if you plan to drink alcohol.
