Police in Suffolk have described lorry drivers that took photos of a collision scene in Haverhill while behind the wheel as “particularly thoughtless”.
Officers were called to reports that a lorry had crashed after going straight over a roundabout in Enterprise Way last month.
The driver was not believed to have sustained any serious injuries but he was taken to hospital for a check-up.
Whilst in attendance, police officers caught 18 drivers taking either photographs or videos of the crash scene and were shocked to find they included lorry drivers.
PC Wayne Sturman said: “It was incredibly disappointing to see so many people flouting the law in front of our eyes by taking photos or videos of the collision scene.
“Two of the 18 people were themselves behind the wheel of an HGV, which was particularly thoughtless and negligent of them as professional drivers – especially given the collision involved a lorry and the damage they can cause.
“Using a phone whilst driving is dangerous – even more so in this scenario where drivers are likely to be further distracted by the collision scene.
“Those drivers we caught will now pay the penalty both financially and with points on their licence – and if anyone was a new driver who has passed in the last two years, then six points means they will lose their licence.”
