Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a collision on Falsgrave Road in Scarborough.
It happened at around 5.25pm on Christmas Day and involved a black Peugeot 407 which was driven out of a junction opposite Mount Park Road into a lamppost on the opposite side of the road.
The driver was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs, and also assaulting an emergency worker. He was taken to hospital and has since been released under investigation.
The road was closed for a short period of time while authorities investigated the scene and to allow the vehicle involved to be recovered.
Police are aware of footage of the crash being circulated on local Facebook sites and are appealing for the owners of this footage to come forward.
Officers are also appealing for any eyewitnesses to the collision, anyone who may have seen the vehicle prior to the collision, or anyone with relevant dashcam footage, to contact them.
