"The incident involved a black Range Rover which had collided with the central reservation barrier," said a statement.
"Officers attended the scene and arrested a 57-year-old man.
"Paul Ince, of Quarry Road, Neston, has since been charged with drink driving."
As well as more than 200 games for Manchester United in the early to mid 1990s, he also played for West Ham, Wolves and Inter Milan.
Ince became the first black footballer to captain England when he took the armband in a game against the USA in 1993 - just a year after his senior debut.
He led the national side seven times in total.
