Driver loses control and hits lamp post during dangerous driving incident in Guildford
A witness appeal has been launched after a car was driven dangerously in Guildford.
Patrolling officers saw a blue Land Rover Discovery driving southbound at speed along Woodbridge Road in the early hours of Sunday (3:45am 7 November).
The car was seen erratically overtaking vehicles and also drove into the path of oncoming traffic on the opposite side of the road.
The vehicle passed through Guildford and along the A3100 before the driver lost control of the vehicle at the roundabout near Guildford Crematorium.
The car mounted the verge and collided with a lamp post.
The three people in the car were not injured.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failure to stop, driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol and driving whilst unfit through drugs.
He has been released under investigation.
PC Theresa Clancy said:
“The vehicle was seen driving recklessly through Guildford putting other road users at risk. Surrey Police deals with dangerous drivers in a robust manner to help keep our county’s roads safe.”
