A beauty queen in Rwanda has been arrested for drink-driving and driving without a licence.

Police said Divine Muheto, who won the most recent Miss Rwanda beauty pageant, had damaged “infrastructure” and then fled the scene. The statement does not say whether anybody was hurt in the incident.

It is not the first time the 21-year-old has driven under the influence of alcohol, police in the East African country added.

Ms Muheto has not publicly reacted to the arrest.
