A driver was arrested for drink driving after her car knocked down a lamp post at Tampines Avenue 3 on Sunday morning (May 28).

Stomper Theresa shared a photo of the car on the green verge of the road divider with its front bonnet damaged and a lamp post lying next to it.

Three Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) vehicles, including an ambulance, were at the scene.
