Police spot van poking out of lorry on M1
A police operation to target bad driving made an unexpected discovery when a van was seen poking out of the back of a lorry.
Nottinghamshire Police said the "irregular cargo" was spotted on the M1 before the vehicle was stopped on the A42.
The driver was issued with a traffic offence report for driving an overweight vehicle and a tachograph offence, with the lorry banned from leaving the scene until the van was removed.
PC Mike Grant, from Nottinghamshire Police's roads policing unit, said: "I've seen a lot of things on the motorway before but this was definitely a first."
