The driver and passenger in the Merc were uninjured but unable to join friends at the ukelele club for a practice.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: “Paramedics were called, and a man suffered chest injuries and a woman suffered a bump to the head. A 63-year-old woman has since been arrested for driving while unfit through drink.”
