The driver admitted to drinking the night before
A driver has been arrested after they crashed their car into a tree. On Saturday February 7, a driver, who had been drinking the previous night, crashed into a tree in March.
Police were called on Saturday just before 1pm to the scene of the crash. The car had crashed into a tree, blocking Knights End Road, which remained closed while the car was recovered.
A breath test conducted at the scene showed that the driver was almost three times over the legal limit. At the time, the driver admitted to having been drinking the night before.
A Cambridgeshire Constabulary spokesperson said: “A vehicle had left the road, collided with a tree, and then landed back on the carriageway.
“On arrival, officers conducted a roadside breath test on the driver, who blew 100µg – almost three times the legal limit of 35µg. The driver admitted to drinking the night before.
“They were arrested at the scene and taken to Peterborough City Hospital by Ambulance with serious but not life‑threatening injuries.” Police have warned that drinking the night before can still leave you over the legal limit the next day. If you’re unsure, don’t drive.
Inquiries into the case remain ongoing. If you have any information about this incident, please contact 101 using reference number CAD-236 of 07/02/26.
