Officers from the TVP Roads Policing Unit were called to a single vehicle collision near Kirtlington.

The driver failed a roadside breath test and was arrested.

The officers later tweeted: "At the police station his evidential breath reading was 62ug, almost twice the legal limit. #P5600 #P6874 #oxoncshift #OpHolly."

The arrest was one of a number over the last week in which drivers who crashed their cars were found to be over the legal limit.

TVP started its 2021 Christmas 'Don't drink and drive' campaign - Operation Holly - on December 1.
