An early morning drinker fled from police after crashing his car in Bellingham at 7am this morning (May 14).
Police were called to Southend Lane near the junction with Brookhowse Road after a car smashed into the central reservation.
Lewisham police said the driver then staggered away from the scene but was found nearby.
He was arrested on suspicion of failure to stop and driving having drunk excess alcohol.
The driver was also taken to hospital as a precaution, while part of Southend Lane was blocked for around an hour.
Police investigations continue.
