A four-time champion jockey in Britain, Murphy has charged with one count of driving a vehicle over the prescribed limit of alcohol and another of failing to cooperate with a preliminary roadside test.

The 29-year-old was charged last Thursday, the same which he rode at double at Royal Ascot thanks to victories on Arabian Story and Never So Brave.

A statement on the Thames Valley Police website read: "A man has been charged in connection with an ongoing investigation into a serious road traffic collision in Hermitage, West Berkshire.

"Last Thursday (19/6) Oisin Murphy, aged 29 of Beales Farm Road, Lambourn, Hungerford, was charged by postal requisition with one count of driving a motor vehicle while over the prescribed limit of alcohol and one count of failing to cooperate with a preliminary test at the roadside.

"The charge is in connection with a single vehicle road traffic collision around 12.05am on Sunday 27 April this year when a grey Mercedes A Class left the road and crashed into a tree."

It added: "It is vital that people do not speculate or spread misinformation on social media as this is a live investigation."
