A woman who was filming a video for Snapchat fell from a moving vehicle and landed onto the motorway, police have reported.
She fell out between the Clacket Lane Services and junction six while ‘hanging out of the car’ while it was going down the M25.
Fortunately, the woman survived and was not seriously injured. Paramedics treated her at the scene.
Surrey Police shared the story on Twitter and wrote: “The front seat passenger was hanging out the car whilst filming a Snapchat video along the #M25.
“She then fell out the car and into a live lane.
“It is only by luck she wasn’t seriously injured or killed. #nowords.”
Social media users were quick to slam the woman, with some calling her actions ‘absolutely thoughtless.’ Others also accused the Snapchatter of wasting the time of police and emergency responders.
“I hope there is a good fine added to the cost of police and ambulance, plus points for the driver,” one internet user commented.
“This individual should be named and shamed and made to pay the bills for the emergency services’ efforts. The driver also needs naming and shaming and they should be disqualified,” another wrote.
“The worst thing about this is that had she been hit, the poor driver who hit her would have to live with that for the rest of their life. No one expects to be dodging human bodies on a motorway and an emergency stop may have caused a serious pile up and further loss of life,” a third added.
The force told the Mirror in a statement: “Officers were called to the M25 between junction six and Clacket Lane Services shortly after 1.30am this morning following reports of a female falling out of a moving vehicle.
“The woman was treated by paramedics at the scene and her injuries were not life-threatening or life changing. No arrests have been made.”
