Police are investigating a report that a man drove over three ducklings as they crossed a road in Stoke-on-Trent. It comes after thousands of people shared a social media post from a man who said he witnessed the "despicable act".
Steven Walley shared pictures online from the incident which allegedly took place on Friday in Trentham. He wrote on Facebook: "Absolutely livid. I've just been driving on the A34 at Trentham Gardens roundabout when a family of seven ducklings were crossing the road. All the traffic stopped to let them cross but disgustingly this van driver, after initially stopping, could not then wait for the five seconds it would have taken to let them cross and drove straight over them, crushing three of them.
"I followed the van up the A34 to the layby before Strongford garage where we had a very heated conversation. His comment: 'I don't f*****g care.'"
