Or perhaps it wasn’t...

Crash driver 'swerved to avoid octopus' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-47144891

The Twitter comments quoted are excellent- though I expect ukc can do better...

He'll be facing a sick squid fine.

He'll be up before the beak in no time - a sucker for punishment

What a calamarity

Anyway the police investigation now has tentacles everywhere

They get everywhere these days

I think he was right to swerve, it could have ended like this:

I think you probably mean the cephaloplod.

More likely swerved to avoid an Octopus salesperson who litter every high street 

That story tickled me p-ink

I'm all at sixes and sevens, and eights, over this

I'd really like the driver to be found innocent of being under the influence of drink and drugs, so that it becomes 'One of those mysteries' which the police sometimes have to deal with. 

One of the many hazards of scuba-driving on a tropical reefer.

This being uncle, obviously it was a Skoda octopus

So the animal just disappeared ... it's now an octagone.

Octopus, nah, sounds more like someone has shaved the hairy hand! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_Hands

jk

"In one incident, in 1924, a woman camping on the moor with her husband reported seeing a hairy hand attempting to gain access to her caravan during the night"

Euphemism much?

Further news, he has been released while the police investigate, and an octopus - but perhaps not 'the octopus' has been spotted at the crash site.  

I do hope he's found not to have had drink or drugs in his blood stream...
