Police found the car being driven in this condition after a crash
A police officer said he was "honestly shocked" to see a badly-damaged car being driven along the M25 from Kent to Surrey after a crash.
Surrey PC Serge Hadfield stopped the car near Cobham on Sunday after a call reporting it to police.
PC Hadfield found the bumper "literally bouncing out of the boot" and could not believe there had only been one call about the car.
The force tweeted that the driver "thought it would be OK" to continue.
