Op Limit: Man charged with drink driving following collision in Newton-le-Willows

​We have charged a man with drink driving following a road traffic collision in Newton-le-Willows on Monday 26 December.

At around 6.30pm, we received a report of a collision between a car and a van on Bridge Street.

We arrested and charged Darren Marlow, 54, of Walsh Close, Newton-le-Willows, with drink driving and he has been released on unconditional bail to appear at Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates’ Court on 7^th February 2023.

We will continue to target drink and drug driving offences throughout Op Limit.

The ongoing campaign, which began on November 21, is our annual drink and drug driving campaign and will continue to run until Monday 2 January 2023.

Op Limit coincides with Operation Shepherd, which is Merseyside Police's annual campaign to reduce crime and keep communities safe during the festive season.
