An Armed Response Vehicle squad car was dispatched to the A45 Eastbound between Barnes Meadow and Riverside last week after reports of 'a head in the road'.
There were reports that a vehicle had even 'clipped' the object and sent it flying into the central reservation after swerving to try and miss it.
