License plate left behind as driver sped from smashed house

A 24 old motorist was arrested on Sunday morning for crashing into a house on Rolklaver in Kampen. The man sped away from the accident, but the police tracked him down with his license plate, which fell of the car during the accident and was found at the house. The accident happened around 06:20 a.m. on Sunday and the man was in police custody around 06:45 a.m. The police subjected the suspect to a breathalyzer test, which showed that the man had been driving under the influence of alcohol. He is in custody for further investigation. No one was injured in the accident, but the facade of the house was badly damaged.
