A motorist was held on suspicion of drink-driving after crashing his car into a Northampton pub, only to see his passenger also taken into custody after she allegedly lashed out at a police officer who came to their aid.
The 24-year-old man was arrested at the scene of the crash outside the White Elephant in Kettering Road at 2am on Monday. The motorist had lost control of a soft-top Renault vehicle and careered into a lamppost and traffic lights before colliding with the wall of the pub.
A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police said: “The two people involved were not too badly injured, they were a bit shocked and had cuts and bruises.
“The road was closed for a while and the traffic lights were out. Both people, a man and a woman, both aged 24, were arrested. The man was held on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a vehicle and the woman was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.”
The road was reopened after the wreckage was cleared.
