A car spun out of control and overturned after police tried to stop the driver on suspicion of drink driving.

And a second driver who also tried to flee traffic cops elsewhere in the county was caught and arrested.

“These two drivers tried their best to escape our road policing officers in St Neots and Thorney over the weekend”, said a police spokesperson.

“Thankfully there were no injuries but both were caught driving under the influence.”

Police continue to urge people to report drink or drug drivers on their confidential hotline 0800 032 0845.

Last week four men were disqualified from driving after being caught drink driving in Fenland and Peterborough.

The spokesperson said: “We are working hard to tackle the issue across Cambridgeshire but are asking drivers to rethink getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol.

“Drink driving not only endangers the life of the driver, but also other road users around them. The legal limit is 35 but we recommend you stay at zero.”
