Fined for being run over

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.

The fine he was issued for 'denting' the police 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.'
