A man has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving after a late-night collision on a Harrogate street.

North Yorkshire Police received a report of a collision on Kingsley Drive, Harrogate, just before 1am on Wednesday 22 June 2022.

A black Audi A1 car had left the road, demolished a front wall, and hit two parked cars with such force that the garage behind them was damaged too.

The driver of the Audi left the scene, but officers deployed to the area immediately, and with the assistance of a police dog, they located a man matching his description nearby.

The 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, and has since been released under investigation while our enquiries continue.
