A 41-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and dangerous driving after last week's "spectacular" car crash in Penge.

The incident occurred in Anerley Road last Thursday (July 4) at around 10pm, at the junction with Seymour Villas.

A red Volkswagen Beetle collided with three parked cars, a Ford Ka, Renault Megane and Ford Galaxy, before overturning in the road.

The car came to a stop outside the house of Stuart Flood, 52, who told News Shopper:  "I heard a spectacular crashing sound. It sounded like two lorries smashing into each other.

"It was a crashing sound but it didn't just stop. It continued as the car went skidding down the road.

"I leapt up from my desk and chair and looked out of the living room window.

"The car was lying there on its back.

"A couple of lads pulled the driver out of the passenger seat window.

"All he had was grazed knuckles and a small cut on his shin."

The driver was taken to Lewisham hospital with minor injuries.
