Driver crashes car because inside was too messy to reach handbrake

A driver crashed their car into a parked vehicle because their interior was so messy they could not reach the handbrake, police said.

Pictures showed the car rammed with plastic bags which had been filled to the brim while rubbish was strewn across the floor.

There were cigarette stubs, a plant and plastic bottles littering the car, completely obstructing the handbrake.

The floor at the driver's seat was covered in magazines and newspapers.

A post from officers, alongside the photos, said: "Driver couldn’t get the hand brake on and rolled back into a parked vehicle. I wonder why?"

People reacted with shock to the images after the photos from Hampshire were posted.

One wrote: "Surely he can't be driving around like that?"
