A driver had a altercation with police after he flipped his vehicle on a Powys road.
Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that the crash that closed B4393 near Llanfyllin yesterday evening (December 27) saw a man flip over his van leaving the road closed for hours.
A spokesperson for the Dyfed-Powys said officers were called of the scene after reports from the public of "a single vehicle collision" with debris being left across road.

However Dyfed-Powys police officers were suspicious that the male driver of the van was intoxicated and some kind of altercation appears to have taken place as the driver was later charged on suspicion of drink driving and assaulting a police officer.
A Dyfed-Powys said: "Police attended a report of a single vehicle collision on the B4393 between Llanfechan and Brynderwen at just after 8pm on Wednesday, December 27.
"A van was found to have overturned, leaving debris on the road.
"A man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and assaulting a police officer."
