Man fined after getting run over by police

When a police car swerved off the road and ran over Daniel Horne's foot, he thought he was owed an apology.

But instead he was landed with an £80 fine – for denting the car.



Mr Horne, 28, said he was 'speechless' when the PC who had been at the wheel wrote in the fine notice: 'Ran into the nearside front wing of a marked police vehicle causing a dent.'

Mr Horne said the police soon accepted they had done nothing wrong and Mr Horne was driven to hospital after the accident in Beddau, near Pontypridd, South Wales.

He added: 'There is no way I'm going to pay the fixed penalty fine. I've spoken to my solicitor and I'm going to fight it all the way.'
