A motorist walked away unscathed after a terrifying high-speed crash near Wigton, Cumbria on Saturday night. The driver lost control, smashing into a tree about 10 feet up the trunk before the car came to rest nearly 50 feet down the road. The impact was so severe that the engine was hurled another 10 to 20 feet away.
Driver Arrested for Drug-Driving
Despite the dramatic smash, the driver escaped without serious injury but failed a roadside drug wipe for cannabis. Cumbria Police promptly arrested him on suspicion of drug-driving and possession of cannabis.
