Dangerous driving arrest after van crashes into sign

Nottinghamshire Police said the van was "completely written-off" following the crash

A man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after a van crashed into a car and flipped over into a pub sign.

Nottinghamshire Police said a 22-year-old man was arrested following the collision near the Radcliffe pub in Shelford Road, Radcliffe-on-Trent, at 13:20 BST on Monday.

He was also arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink and failing to stop following a road accident after being treated in hospital for minor injuries, the force said.

Sgt Nathan Lewis, of Nottinghamshire Police, said it was an "incredibly dangerous situation".

Police said the motorist had reportedly been driving in a dangerous manner, speeding and overtaking other cars on bends before losing control near the pub entrance and crashing into its sign.

The van was "completely written-off" and another car sustained "significant damage", the force said.

Sgt Lewis said: "This was an incredibly dangerous situation that thankfully didn't result in anyone sustaining any injuries.

"That this didn't happen was down to sheer luck, when you consider the damage caused to both vehicles and the crash's location near the entrance to a pub."
