DORSET fire and rescue officers have used this amazing picture to warn of the dangers of driving in challenging conditions.

The picture was shared by Leicestershire Police after a crash on the M1.

The driver suffered only minor injuries despite his van being crushed between two lorries.

The van was crushed between the front of one heavy goods vehicle and the trailer of another in the collision between Junctions 20 and 21 on Friday.

A police spokesman said: “The driver of the van in the middle (yes that’s a van) was told to get a lottery ticket. Very happy to report only very slight injuries.”

One of the lorry drivers was assessed at the scene by paramedics but the driver of the other lorry was uninjured.

A spokesman for Dorchester Fire Station said: " Leicester Police were called to this RTC.

"Please let’s all be careful out there today while out on the roads."
