Motorists to be prosecuted for taking photos of A14 crash

Police say that more motorists will be prosecuted for filming or taking photos of a crash on their mobile phones in Cambridgeshire last month.

At least 15 drivers were initially caught photographing the aftermath of the crash which involved a lorry carrying teddy bears on the A14.

Police have confirmed that number has now jumped to 24.

It happened on May 28 at Girton after four HGVs collided.

No-one was seriously injured but a 16 mile stretch of the A14 between junctions 31 and 36 was closed for several hours causing huge tailbacks.
