Campervan driver arrested after leaving trail of destruction

A woman has been arrested after a campervan was discovered on Grimsby’s East Marsh with extensive damage after crashing into a trail of cars in Cleethorpes.

Humberside Police confirmed the woman was arrested after the campervan was found shortly after 9pm on Saturday.

It had earlier been seen colliding with a black Nissan before failing to stop and moments later colliding with a silver Ford, which was shunted into a black Range Rover.

All vehicles involved suffered extensive damage.

The offending motorhome continued towards Cleethorpes High Street which was busy with revellers.

A fourth vehicle was later damaged as the motorhome continued to be driven.

Shortly afterwards it was found in Mansel Street where police conducted a thorough search of the lived-in camper van.

Officers are investigating whether other vehicles were damaged on the route taken by the motorhome.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: “We were called to an incident in Grimsby at around 9pm on Saturday November 13, after a motorhome caused damage to a number of vehicles while driving between Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

“A woman has been arrested following the incident and investigations are ongoing.
