Woman arrested after car smashes into building in Selston

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police were called just before 11.30pm yesterday (July 9) to a report that a car had crashed in the car park of the White Lion Pub on Nottingham Road, Selston, after driving at high speed.

The car had crashed into a neighbouring building and was on fire. Two people were reportedly seen walking away.

Chief Inspector Christopher Sullivan, who is overseeing the investigation, said: “This was a serious incident where luckily no one was hurt.

“Since two people were seen leaving the scene, I would encourage anyone who may have seen either of those people to come forward.”

A 21-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and has since been released under investigation.

Anyone who saw what happened should call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 794 of 9 July 2020.
