The force saw the motorist, who was said to be drunk, attempting to leave the site of the crash in Shirebrook on Saturday, July 10.
He is thought to have misjudged his exit on a roundabout and instead drove his Audi straight into a bush and fence.
Officers located the driver walking away from the scene in just his socks.
