Maybe it's just me, but almost didn't read this, because from the headline I assumed it was passenger on passenger, or similar.
But halfway down the article it becomes clear that it's the driver who's been accused.
So I don't know if it's maybe just the way the Hull Daily Mail has framed this here, but can't find any mention of this on Humberside Police social media or elsewhere, so this must have gone directly to this press outlet
