On Sunday, July 23, officers from the Clowne Safer Neighbourhood Team were called to reports of a car crashing into a barrier along Creswell Road, Clowne.
An SNT spokesperson said: “The officers liaised with the attending fire crews and carried out initial enquiries. This showed the female was suspected of drink driving. One of our elite and TV famous Traffic Cops attended and carried out the roadside breath test procedure – which showed the female three and a half times the drink drive limit.

In a tweet, a Derbyshire Roads Policing spokesperson said: “Driver not sure what happened apparently but blowing 127 on a roadside breath test might have something to do with it. Legal limit is 35.
