A driver was arrested for suspected drunk driving after crashing in Worcester.
Deansway is closed until tonight because of damage. Worcestershire County Council announced the road closure. They need to check the wall’s stability and engineers will assess everything soon.
The wall is likely part of a residence, although the cathedral folks are checking ownership. A witness heard a loud bang from the crash, and they went to see what was happening.
A passer-by noticed the flashing lights and investigated. They expressed hope that everyone involved was okay and noted fewer pedestrians were present at that hour; daytime would have been a different situation.
The Deansway closure created heavy traffic, with the A38 experiencing congestion for most of the day. Firefighters and police responded to the crash, removing the car and securing the area.
Emergency services learned of the crash by 6:45 AM. The police confirmed they responded to the incident, and no one suffered any injuries in the crash.
Firefighters immediately closed the lane and pavement due to the structural damage. The Fire and Rescue team arrived at 6:58 AM and worked to make the vehicle safe.
The car hit the wall, causing damage, so authorities requested help for the road closure. The council closed the road as precaution and needed structural engineers to check the wall.
