A man was arrested after speeding off from police on an M27 motorway bridge yesterday evening before driving dangerously on the wrong side of the road.

Traffic cops attempted to pull a grey Citroen Xsara at around 5.30pm in Allington Lane, at the M27 motorway bridge in West End – but the vehicle failed to stop. The driver then speed off and was witnessed driving dangerously, including driving on the opposite side of the carriageway, police reported. The vehicle was found abandoned in Burnetts Field a short while later.

But police were later able to track down the driver. ‘Following enquiries, a 49-year-old man from Hedge End was arrested on suspicion of driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, driving without insurance, failing to stop, dangerous driving, and theft of motor vehicle. He remains in custody at this time,’ a police spokeswoman said.
