It will be the first time for drivers in Britain to face for "rubbernecking" – the act of looking back at a grisly , usually while driving a car. The four rubberneckers slowed down to snap of a crash on the other of the road. Drivers behind them were forced to brake to avoid hitting the rubberneckers. Police at the scene said the photo-taking motorists had been "acting " in slowing down to use their mobile phones to take photos. They will be charged with driving without care and attention and without reasonable for other road users.

Police officer Shelley Holloway spoke to about the incident. She said: "Thankfully nobody was injured in the . However the actions of motorists who drove through the scene showed no for their own or of other people’s , as they used their mobile phones to record or video the as they passed.
