"Emergency services attended the scene and a man, aged in his 30s, was arrested on suspicion of drink driving. He was taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
"Nobody was injured."
The spokesperson said 60-times capped Duffy, of Norwich Common, Wymondham, was "charged with driving whilst unfit through drink, having provided an evidential breath sample of 102mcg".
He is due to appear at Norwich Magistrates' Court on July 2.
