Errr, that's pretty comprehensively stopped, officer....
A drink driver was arrested after crashing into another carcrashing into another car at a junction in Oakridge.
A police spokesperson told the Gazette: "We were called shortly after 7pm yesterday (Saturday 25 May) to a report of a two-vehicle collision on Oakridge Road.
"A 20-year-old man from Basingstoke was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level above limit and driver of a vehicle fail to stop after a road accident.
"He remains in police custody at this time.”
I can only assume they mean the Beemer driver fled on foot, because that car's going nowhere unless it's on the back of a wrecking vehicle....

Common misconception: Under the Road Traffic Act "Stopping" after an RTA involves more than merely arresting one's motion temporarily.
A "Stop" in law includes giving one's details - name, address, motor insurance etc. - to the other driver or anyone else who may require them.

Yes, I guessed that was more accurate, but still a bit jarring at first.
