A MAN has been charged with drink-driving following a single vehicle crash on the M4 in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Officers received a report that a car had been involved in a collision and rolled onto its side on the M4 eastbound near junction 16 for Royal Wootton Bassett at around 1.35am on Sunday morning, August 13.
No serious injuries were reported and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The driver, Aaron Watkins, aged 31, of Pellau Road, Port Talbot, was arrested and has been charged with drink-driving after blowing over the legal limit.
He has been released on bail and is due to appear in Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, August 30.
A spokesperson for Royal Wootton Bassett & Cricklade Police said: "Drink driving is one of the fatal five offences, all of which increase the risk of you being involved in a serious or fatal collision.
"Wiltshire Police is running a Road Safety Campaign this month focusing on enforcement and raising awareness of the fatal five offences: speeding, drink and drug driving, using a phone while driving, not wearing a seatbelt, and careless or dangerous driving.
"If you suspect somebody of drink driving, please call 101 or 999 in an emergency and give as much information as possible including a description of the driver, vehicle and direction of travel."
