A 23-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in Erith this morning (June 21) after driving a car across the fish roundabout.

The driver, who was alone in the vehicle, missed the fish sculpture and was stopped by police at the edge of Bronze Age Way and Bexley Road at around 1.30am.

A lot of engine oil leaked on to the road from the car during the incident so firefighters were called to put sand down to soak up the liquid.

The crew from Erith fire station was at the scene for around 30 minutes.
