A spokesman said: "An officer responded to a collision in Bracklesham Bay which was reported at 10.35am on Tuesday, where a Toyota car, with Dutch registration, had collided with a wall and parked cars.

"The cause of the collision was assessed as being a mechanical fault with the accelerator of the vehicle. It was established that for medical reasons the driver of that vehicle was not able to give a specimen of breath.

"There was no reason to suspect that the driver was unfit to drive through drink or drugs and his arrest, in order to obtain a sample of blood, was not therefore justified."
