A man has been arrested after a pedestrian was injured and taken to hospital following a collision with a car.

Officers were called to North Promenade in Cleethorpes on Saturday after a crash involving a car and pedestrian at around 05:25 BST.

The pedestrian, a man, was taken to hospital to receive treatment for an arm injury.

The 36-year-old male driver was arrested on suspicion of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, driving a motor vehicle when over the alcohol limit and driving a motor vehicle dangerously.

He was also arrested for using a motor vehicle in a public place without third party insurance and failure to report incident.

Humberside Police said he has since been released on conditional bail while inquiries continue.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or may have CCTV or dashcam footage has been asked to contact police.
