Drink-Driver Wrecks Four Cars and Flees Scene in Sneinton
Van Smashes Into Traffic Light and Cars
A van rammed a traffic light on Daleside Road, Sneinton, before driving off. The chaos didn’t stop there – the same vehicle then smashed into a BMW, Nissan, and Vauxhall on Bourne Street, Netherfield.
Driver Abandons Van and Dashes on Foot
The van was later found abandoned on Colwick Road. The suspected driver fled the scene on foot, sparking a police hunt in the early hours of Thursday, 27 April 2023.
Suspect Caught and Charged
Officers quickly located and detained a suspect near the junction of Port Arthur Road and Sneinton Boulevard. 19-year-old Cenzy Wray, from Grantham Road, Radcliffe-On-Trent, now faces multiple charges:
- Drink driving
- Failing to stop
- Driving without insurance
- Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence
Wray has been released on bail and must appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 12 May 2023.
Police Warn Against Drink-Driving
“Every person who gets behind the wheel of a vehicle under the influence of drink is a hazard on our roads and a danger to themselves and others,” said Sergeant Ash Small of Nottinghamshire Police.
“Thankfully, no injuries were reported this time, but we will not tolerate this sort of criminality. We will always take firm action against those who flout the law.”
