A drink drive student was arrested after a late night crash in Lathom last night.
The 23-year-old was driving towards Burscough when her car left the road on a right hand bend, taking out a lamp post on Course Lane.
She wrote off her FIAT Punto and when tested by Police was three times over the limit; one contractor called out to tape up the lamp post said she was so drunk she could hardly stand when pulled out the car.
She had been travelling alone and no other vehicles were involved - Police closed the A5209 for over an hour although there was only minor disruption.
