She confirmed there were no major injuries.

But while officers were dealing with this aftermath of the crash another driver decided to drive past the scene, despite the road closure put in place by officers.

Vitalu Kezun, aged 32, of St Paul’s Road, Semilong, Northampton, has since been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in connection with the latter incident.
