A driver in Doornspijk was arrested after ramming a lamp post fully out of the ground and ending up in a dry ditch. The crash happened on Friday evening around 19.52 on Zuiderzeestraatweg West, near the TinQ petrol station. For an unknown reason, the driver left the road, rammed a lamp post with a Volvo, and the car then came to a stop next to the cycle path in a dry ditch. When officers arrived, the driver was immediately tested for alcohol. The alcohol test result gave an A, after which the man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving under Article 8 of the Dutch Road Traffic Act 1994. After the arrest, recovery firm Stouwdam was called to tow the Volvo. A staff member from the province of Gelderland attended to handle the damage to the lamp post. Because the lamp post was knocked over, street lighting from the roundabout near the Flevoweg to the center of Doornspijk was out. The lighting will be repaired as soon as possible.
