Two women and a child were taken to hospital after the car they were travelling in was hit by the driver of another car - who was arrested on suspicion of drink driving on Saturday evening.
Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage to try to piece together what happened in north west Bristol, and suspect the arrested driver may have been involved in another crash five miles away, a few minutes earlier.
The two women were not thought to be seriously injured and the child was unhurt but taken to hospital as a precaution following the crash, which closed a main road in Shirehampton for much of Saturday evening.
