My son had a car crash six weeks ago. Nobody else was involved. He hit a kerb and then a lamppost.
A paramedic happened to be driving past straight after and was first on the scene. The police arrived, he was breathalyzed and was told he was over the limit. He was not given a figure.
The paramedic wanted to take him to hospital to see to his cuts, he wasn't arrested or cautioned.
In hospital he was assessed, sent for and X-Ray and then had stitches in his arm. By the time the police doctor arrived and took his bloods it was about 4 hours after the accident.
He then received a phone call from the police officer about 3 weeks ago to ask if we had received his Independant blood test back and what the result was because for some reason they were unable to test the police sample. My son said he didn't know the result as the letter was at home. The Police officer then wished him a Merry Christmas and said he'd call him in for a chat in the New Year but it "looks like you've been very lucky!)
Today he received a call to say he's to come on for an interview on Saturday. He called back agin to say he forgot to ask if he'd like a solicitor to be present.
We are now concerned about what might happen. My son is 19 and has no other driving convictions. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thank you
