Several cars and a house were damaged when a man driving a stolen flatbed truck lost control and crashed.After crashing the truck the driver got out and escaped on foot, by scaling a fence into someone's garden and running off.Image caption,The truck was stolen from Church Lane in Ticknall at about 13:30 BST, then crashed into the former vicarage, which is also in Church Lane.
The man made his escape down Grange Close, a cul-de-sac and a dead end, which was why he had to scale a fence. He was captured on CCTV as he escaped. The footage shows him with dark hair, wearing a dark top and blue or navy jeans, and carrying a green carrier bag. A person living nearby said the damage to the four cars was "incredibly upsetting" as they belonged to older people living in almshouses.
