Both the driver and their passenger miraculously walked away with "little to no injuries".

Police tweeted a photo of the wreckage. It added: "This is what happens when you drive under the influence of drink/drugs.

"[The] driver blew 109 roadside and drug wipe was positive for cocaine."

That's three times the legal drink-drive limit which is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres.

The tweet added: "[The] driver was arrested, blood taken and interviewed. [They have been] bailed waiting for the result of the blood test."

Police have been asked for the precise location of the crash.
