A car, described as a 'death trap', has been seized by Cumbria Police whilst driving along the A590.

The road policing unit were working alongside the police's community team when they spotted the car on the road in Ulverston on Tuesday.

A spokesperson said: "As if driving on the ice and snow wasn't dangerous enough.

"[This car had] no tread, no handbrake, juddering steering, a filthy windscreen with no washer fluid, plus several other issues including no tax and fumes being emitted into the cab."

The police added that they were happy to have removed a 'death trap' from the roads.
