An apparent drunk driver was caught trying to tow their car away from the scene of a crash in Fife. Posting on social media, Police Scotland road traffic officers said they responded to reports of a collision on Foxton Drive in the village of Thornton in the early hours of yesterday morning.
After tracing the vehicle involved, the driver of the car was stopped while allegedly attempted to tow the damaged car away on a recovery truck.
Photos taken at the scene show the front of the motor severely mangled, presumably as a result of the impact of the smash. Wires hang loose from underneath the car, the mechanical interior of which has been exposed.
The back of the right hand side windscreen appears to have been hit, too, while the passenger window on the same side is fully down. The car looks to be only loosely secured to the recovery truck.
The male driver was allegedly three times over the drink drive limit and was wanted on warrant at the time of the incident. He was arrested and reported to the Crown Prosecution Service.
Cops say he is likely to be disqualified from driving. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were called to reports of a one vehicle crash on Foxton Drive, Thornton at around 1.30am on Tuesday, 19 July, 2022.
“A 21-year-old man was arrested in connection and was due to appear at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court on 19 July.”
