Driver Swerves Into Bus, Then Flees

The Ford was heading down Leeson Road when it suddenly swerved into the driver’s side of a Southern Vectis double-decker. Shockingly, both the driver and passenger fled the scene immediately.

No Injuries, But Police Step In

Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident. Hampshire Constabulary quickly responded and arrested a 25-year-old and a 27-year-old, both from Gillingham, Kent.

The pair face suspicion of drink-driving and possession of a Class B drug. They remain in custody as investigations continue.
