During one incident the occupants of a car had a “near death experience” when a lorry tipped over on top of them.

While a man was arrested after abandoning his truck and fleeing police on foot across eight lanes of traffic on the M1.

After being asked to follow police on the M1 near Barlborough this truck's driver abandoned it in lane one and ran across eight lanes of traffic to the opposite side, disappearing into bushes. Police tweeted: "Chased, arrested and remanded".
