A drink driver left a Derbyshire house with “significant damage” after colliding with the property – having crashed into a car moments before.

Police officers, fire crews and the ambulance service descended on a Derby street last night after a motorist collided with a car and then crashed into a house.

A Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit spokesperson said: “Another selfish drink driver tonight. Not only has he smashed up two cars and a house, but all emergency services were called to the scene and the damage was so severe that a structural engineer is required.”

A Derbyshire Police spokesperson said: “We were called to Ladybank Road at around 11.00pm on Wednesday, June 28 – after reports that a Nissan Navara had collided with a Mazda.

A Mazda crashed into the address on Ladybank Road.

“The Mazda then collided with a house, causing significant structural damage to the house. No-one reported suffering any serious injuries.

“A 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. He remains in police custody.”
