A MAN has been arrested and will appear in court after a car crash on Saturday night.

Photographs showed the devastating impact of the pile up where miraculously no one was seriously injured.

Ryan Haines, 25, from Tadley, has been charged with driving a vehicle while above the alcohol limit.

He is due to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on Tuesday, October 15.

On Saturday night, the Gazette reported how a woman's car was badly damaged when a motorist ploughed into a parked car so hard, it moved several foot.

As a result, his car smashed into the barrier on the opposite side and veered into the pathway of an oncoming motorist.
