A DRIVER who fled the scene of a crash was arrested in the early hours of Christmas Day.
At around 1.30am on Sunday, Wiltshire Police's Special Operations team announced on social media that Roads Policing Unit officers had located an "extremely drunk male who fled the scene" of a crash.
Royal Wootton Bassett Police officers and an ARG drone helped track down the driver, who was then arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive through drink or drugs.
