A YOUNG WOMAN was arrested for drink-driving after a two-vehicle crash in Stroud.
The two-car shunt on Dudbridge Hill occurred last night.
Nobody was hurt, however a 24-year-old lady from King's Stanley was arrested when she was found to be almost two times over the drink-drive limit.
She has spent the night in custody.
Police say she is facing a likely driving ban.
Penalties for drink driving can range from a fine to six months behind bars for the worst offenders.
The length of the driving ban depends on whether the defendant has previous convictions for driving under the influence and the level of their intoxication when they were caught.
