The busy A road was blocked after a male motorist crashed his vehicle into the central reservation yesterday evening (Saturday, July 3) while the country’s game against Ukraine had just started.

Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit said the collision happened as striker Harry Kane bagged his 4th minute goal into the net – leading England to a 4 nil victory which will see them face Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday, July 7.

No one was injured in the crash involving a Mercedes on the A38.

In a post on Twitter, the police team wrote: “A38. As Harry Kane was smashing his 4th minute goal in to the net, the driver of this Mercedes was smashing his car into the central reservation. Standing water + too fast = Crash. No injuries. Road now clear. #DriveToArrive #ItsComingHome”.
