POLICE arrested a 15-year-old for suspected drink driving early today after a crash in the Meon Valley.
They detained the boy at his home address in the Bishop’s Waltham area after a car crashed into a tree in Park Lane, Swanmore at about 1am.
The car was written off, said Sgt Stuart Gilmour, of Winchester police. “It is unusual, because of his age,” he said.
The boy, who is believed to have been alone in the vehicle, was taken to North Walls police station in Winchester.
He was due to be interviewed today.
