Policeman mistook canal for road

German crop pattern enthusiast Jozef Cene ended up in a swirl himself when he mistook a canal for a road - and drove straight into it.

To make matters more embarrassing for the tourist it was revealed that he is a policeman back home in Berlin.



Police were called and breathalysed Mr Cene, who was not over the limit.

PC Mark Fiander-Lewis said: "The driver stated that he mistook the muddy and dark canal to be an extension of a wet Tarmac track and continued to drive straight over the bank and into the middle of the canal.

"This was much to the shock and disbelief of himself and several witnesses."
