A 13-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people to be charged with drink driving.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with aggravated vehicle taking and driving with excess alcohol.
The charge came after a car crash in Cornwall Road, Littlehampton, West Sussex, on 2 June.
Sussex Police said the boy was walked to a police station by two members of the public who had witnessed the accident.
The teenager, who has also been charged with burglary, is due to appear before Worthing magistrates on Thursday.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "The youth is certainly one of the youngest ever to be charged with driving with excess alcohol.
"Records for the last six years show that in Sussex, the youngest was 13 years and 11 months.
"This youth is 13 years and 10 months."
