Driver flees crash near Faringdon, close to Swindon, leaving a passenger, cocaine and cash behind. Thames Valley Police Rural Crime Taskforce investigates.

Thames Valley Police Rural Crime Taskforce officers were patrolling the Faringdon area on Thursday, November 5, when they came across the vehicle.

In a tongue-in-cheek post, officers said the man driving had experienced a “strong desire to get closer to nature” after the vehicle left the road.

The force said the driver then fled following the crash, leaving his date behind in the passenger seat.

Officers also reported finding cocaine and cash at the scene.

TVP Rural Crime Taskforce confirmed that an investigation has now been launched into the incident.
