The driver fled the scene after the smash – but was later arrested by officers.

A spokesman for Doncaster Central Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “He decided he didn't want to stop and talk to officers before running out of talent and crashing in to a lamppost.”

A search was launched in the Cantley area and he was arrested for various driving offences.
