Crash driver 'swerved to avoid octopus'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-47144891
Police were called to the A381 between Malborough and South Milton in Devon, where they found a vehicle upside-down in a ditch on Tuesday evening.
The 49-year-old driver was checked over by paramedics before being arrested.
Officers, who tweeted about the incident, said they found no evidence of an octopus on the road.
Octopuses are not unheard of in the seas off the south coast of England, but this particular cephalopod would have had to crawl more than 5km over hills and fields to find itself in the path of a car on the A381.

Re: Crash driver 'swerved to avoid octopus'
lol, reminds me of that advert on the tv where the man was trying to describe a horse with a dress on and a man with an apron on, rushing across the country road in front of him whilst driving to Reading. (a knight and his horse).Good luck to that driver with the octopus explaining that to any insurance company willing to insure him.
