A CAR was completely destroyed after it smashed into a tree in Hampshire while the driver was over the drink drive limit.

The barely recognisable wreckage of a black car was all that remained of the vehicle after the crash.

Officers from Hampshire Police have said they could not believe the driver made it out alive after smashing into the tree Lovedean, Hampshire.

Now the police are warning people not to drink and drive.

In a tweet, Hampshire Roads Policing said: "How the driver has survived this collision in Lovedean after hitting a tree is unbelievable! #dontdrinkanddrive."

The sentiment has been shared by other members of the emergency services, including Hampshire Fire and Rescue.
