Not much to see here, but no prizes for guessing the time of week for this.

And it reads like the driver was simply breathalysed, and no further action taken, but who knows?


Man injured after being hit by taxi in Nuneaton town centre

https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/ ... t-24706437

It happened at the junction of Queens Road and Mount Street

A man was left injured after being hit by a taxi in Nuneaton town centre. Emergency services responded to a 999 call made at just after midnight on Sunday morning (August 7) to report a collision between a pedestrian and a taxi at the junction of Queens Road and Mount Street.

The victim, a middle aged man who has not been identified, is understood to have been injured. West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) confirmed it sent an ambulance to the scene - but the man had already taken himself to hospital by the time medics arrived.

"There was a call to the location at 00:38hrs on Sunday morning," a WMAS s pokesman said. "We did send an ambulance, but the patient had taken themselves to hospital so we did not treat them."

A Warwickshire Police spokesman confirmed that officers were sent to the scene. "It was reported that a taxi had collided with a man.

"He was not seriously injured, and was taken to George Eliot. The taxi driver was breathalysed at the scene".

Standard practice to breathalyse any drivers involved in an accident.

Must have passed else he would have been arrested, and they would have mentioned it.
