A MAN has been arrested after a car crashed onto a parked vehicle on a Hampshire road.

Police were called in after reports of a car driving erratically on Shirley Road this afternoon.

According to Hampshire police a pursuit of the vehicle was considered but due to the manner in which it was being driven and the presence of schoolchildren in the area it was stood down.

The car, a Ford Mondeo, was then found crashed into a parked car on Clarendon Road at around 3pm.

One person was detained but police could not specify on what charge.
