A woman has been arrested after a car crashed into a British World War Two memorial in Normandy, France.

The crash occurred at around 5.30am on Saturday in Lion-sur-Mer, the site where thousands of troops landed on June 6, 1944.

The memorial, a Churchill AVRE Mark IV tank, is on display at Sword Beach next to the Liberty monument.

Local police said a French woman in her 40s has been arrested, she was found to be “well over the drink-drive limit”.

The monument was not damaged in the crash.

A police spokesperson said: “The driver hit a number of bollards before crashing into a tank”.

The suspect ”was shocked, and her car was badly damaged, but the armoured vehicle remained undamaged, and was not displaced,” police added.
