Police have towed away a Renault Clio which they say had been abandoned on the Toyota roundabout near the A38 sliproad today.

At 10.20am today, February 27, the car was left on the Toyota roundabout after breaking down.

Derbyshire police officers in the Hilton, Hatton and Etwall Safer Neighbourhood Team said via Twitter that the vehicle had been left in a 'dangerous position' and they had not been called to alert them to the issue.

The tweet was also accompanied by the hashtags hazard and road safety.
