Non-cycling crashes that deserve attention

Several small crashes were caused during this dramatic escape attempt:

Hutson evaded officers and drove off on the moped, fleeing north onto the North Circular and then onto the M11 where, reaching speeds of 90 mph, he wove in and out of traffic often on the wrong side of the carriageway.

Video footage shows other drivers swerving out of his way to avoid head-on collisions. Some were involved in minor crashes because of Hutson's riding.

On The M11, Hutson tried to squeeze in between two cars in the gap between lanes two and three, but instead collided with them.

The impact forced him to crash his moped, knocking his shoes off his feet as he skidded and rolled along the motorway.

Police were forced to close part of the M11 to prevent further danger to motorists.

Hutson got back up, restarted his moped and continued along the hard shoulder, again against oncoming traffic.

Police deployed a 'stinger' tyre deflation device ahead of Hutson, which safely slowed him down and eventually stopped him on the slip road of the M11 to the M25.

He then attempted to flee bare foot, but police soon caught up with him and he was arrested.
