A lorry driver, John Wickson, aged 55, has been sentenced to 16 months in jail for his reckless actions that nearly cost the lives of two police officers. The incident occurred on the A1 when Wickson failed to stop after colliding with a patrol vehicle, forcing the officers to take evasive measures.

The terrifying event unfolded on the night of October 26, 2017, near North Muskham, where officers responded to reports of an oil spill. Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered a broken-down vehicle on a flyover bridge and strategically parked their patrol vehicle across lane one, bringing northbound traffic to a halt.
