A 30-year-old Sandys man was arrested for impaired driving on Tuesday night after causing an accident involving three other cars.

Police spokesman Dwayne Caines said Police attended the damage-only traffic collision at about 9.45 p.m. at the junction of Church and Burnaby streets in Hamilton.

He said it appeared a Mazda was travelling north on Burnaby Street and a Suzuki jeep was travelling east on Church Street when they collided at the junction.

He said as a result, the driver of the jeep lost control and hit a parked Opel which in turn collided with a Daihatsu that was parked in front of it.

Mr. Caines said the driver of the jeep failed to stop and continued along Church Street.

However, the jeep was later located outside the Warwick Bowl on Middle Road in Warwick and the driver was arrested for suspicion of impaired driving.

"He was taken to Hamilton Police Station and detained after failing the alco-analyser test," he said.

He added that the driver of the Mazda, a 51-year-old Pembroke man, was also arrested at the scene for suspicion of impaired driving, but was later released when he passed the alco-analyser test.

"No one was injured in either collision, however all four vehicles were damaged," he said.
