A 38-year-old man from Blackpool was later arrested on suspicion of drug driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance, he added.

He was still in custody this morning.

The damaged car was removed on the back of a recovery truck shortly after 5pm, while Collins Avenue was closed by police officers.
