A dopey motorist tried to drive off after crashing despite two wheels being off the ground.

The marooned man smashed the silver hatchback into a traffic light.

The force of the collision meant the two drivers’ side tyres were lifted off the road.

The front one rested upon the base of the lights in the middle of the road.

The other was left hanging in the air.

But despite the difficult position he was in he still tried to drive away.

The wheels were seen going round-and-round as he tried to manoeuvre off.

It happened on Edgware Road, near Marble Arch, Central London on Saturday (5 Oct) evening.
