A man who allegedly caused a crash on the M4 was arrested after he was spotted walking along the hard shoulder.
Emergency services were called to a road traffic collision on the motorway near Junction 15 at Swindon at around 9pm on Monday (22 December).
It came after police received a number of calls to report a Range Rover Evoque being driven dangerously.
The car was then involved in a crash with another vehicle – causing it to flip onto its roof.
The driver of the Range Rover left the scene, and our call centre then received further reports of a man walking along the hard shoulder towards Junction 15.
A 42-year-old man was swiftly arrested on suspicion of drink driving, drug driving, driving while disqualified, failing to stop after a road accident, and being a pedestrian on a carriageway.
He was taken to hospital as a precaution and has since been released on police bail.
Responding to the incident was officers from the Roads Policing Unit, Armed Response, and the dog team — including Police Dog Conan.
