TWO men have been arrested after a van was involved in two crashes on the same night.
Officers responded to the two collisions on Monday evening – the first being on Beechfield Avenue in Blackpool, where the van had hit a wall and a parked car before being driven away from the scene.
Half an hour later the van crashed again on Clifton Road, taking out a telephone pole and crashing into a wall.
The driver and a passenger have then escaped from the scene, but were located nearby soon after.
They have been arrested for aggravated vehicle tacking and drink and drug driving. Neither held a driving licence.
The pair remain in custody awaiting interview.
