Man stopped from riding electric scooter on M1 Police swapped their usual cars for their fleet of 4x4 vehicles and were kept very busy over the icy, snowy weekend, helping motorists and pedestrians, keeping the motorways clear, ensuring that stranded drivers were kept safe and helped on their way.
Unfortunately, one driver ran out of fuel on the M1. His passenger took it upon himself to get out of the car, board his electric scooter and set off on his journey off the motorway. The scooter rider was located and taken off the motorway, where he was found to be a disqualified driver. He was reported for driving while disqualified and without insurance, while the scooter was seized. SYP posted this message “Thanks to everybody who helped to clear stranded vehicles from the roads and even offer hot drinks. While this cold snap is still with us, please only drive if absolutely necessary and if you do have to drive, please ensure your vehicle is in good order, has plenty of fuel for the journey and you
have warm clothing and a fully charged mobile phone, just in case you do have to stop.”
A 67 year old NHS worker from Oughtibridge was rescued by locals after she became stranded in her car on her way home from work. After finishing a night-shift at 7am on Saturday morning, the un-named support worker became trapped on Langsett Road in Worrall. However, locals came to her rescue, even making her a hot drink and she eventually made it home after over 3½ hours stuck. Her journey back home to Oughtibridge had to take a detour after a tree had fallen and blocked the main Middewood Road. She then got stuck and stranded in Wor-
rall behind other cars and was then barricaded to the side of the road when a snow plough cleared the road but created a wall of snow, between her car and the main carriageway. Without any idea what to do the lady had to sit patiently. After a while a young lady from a nearby hair salon brought over a warm drink after seeing her plight. And… not far away, a group of young local men, who had been helping numerous stranded vehicles, began digging away the wall of snow left by the Plough and freed the stranded lady and pushed her onto the cleared road. “I am so thankful to everyone that helped me and it was great to see such goodwill and help on show”
