TWO people have been arrested after a single vehicle crash between Bratton and Westbury in the early hours of Friday (January 6).

Police were called at around 12.50am to a single vehicle collision on the B3098 between Bratton and Westbury.

The vehicle appears to have hit a post before skidding off the carriageway and was left overhanging a steep drop next to the road.

Two people who were in the vehicle fled the scene, police said, and were later located nearby and arrested - one of them on suspicion of a drink driving offence.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “We were called at around 12.50am this morning (06/01) to a single vehicle RTC on the B3098 between Bratton and Westbury.

“A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and a 17-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of taking [a vehicle] without [the] owner’s consent.

“They remain in custody for questioning.”
