The car was found abandoned on Sunday afternoon

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after a crashed car was left in the road.

Derbyshire Police said they were called to Mansfield Road in Tibshelf just before 14:50 GMT on Sunday and found an abandoned VW Golf with a damaged front wheel.

It followed reports of a car crossing a mini-roundabout before hitting a curb.

A 38-year-old driver was arrested at her home address a short time later, according to police.

The force said the woman was taken into custody and found to be more than three times the drink-drive limit.

She has been released under investigation while further inquiries are carried out.
