Driver ploughs into shrubbery in Walsall after hedging their bets thinking they could get home safely whilst 'intoxicated'
An 'intoxicated' driver who hedged his bets that he could drive home safely failed spectacularly by ploughing his vehicle into a Walsall home's hedge.
St Matthew's Neighbourhood Police Team were on the scene before the sun had come up and arrested the red-faced motorist.
The St Matthews unit posted a picture of the stricken high performance vehicle stuck in the hedge.
The team posted last night (Saturday): "This morning (18/10), officers responded to reports of a collision involving a vehicle and a hedge.
"It was discovered that the driver was intoxicated, resulting in his arrest. He failed to provide an evidential sample, and will soon appear in court. #dontdrinkanddrive."
St Matthew's Neighbourhood Policing Team have concentrated on kerbing traffic problems in the ward.
Earlier this week officers set up a temporary speed trap and caught motorists red-handed.
They posted: "Officers have conducted a community speed watch on Birmingham Rd Walsall, due to community concerns. 221 vehicles were registered, out of 3 vehicles were driving at excess speed which will receive a warning notice.
"Remember speed kills always be cautious."
