'Good luck with that': Police’s message to driver who tried to insure car 30 minutes after M1 crash

The car crashed into a barrier on the motorway at Junction 30 yesterday (Friday, May 22).

No other parties were involved in the crash, which took out the front of the car.

But Derbyshire Roads Police were left amused when the driver tried to insure his car 30 minutes later.

“Good luck with that, mate” they tweeted. “Investigation into the collision ongoing.”
