Two drivers were arrested on suspicion of drink driving over the weekend.

He was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and enquiries are ongoing.


While dealing with this incident, the RPU got reports of a single vehicle collision on the A19 Northbound at Crathorne.


Officers attended the scene to find the female driver intoxicated.


She was taken into custody on suspicion of drink driving after recording a positive roadside breath test of 115, more than three times the legal limit.
