From the look of the car it was just a curb and verge that he had run in to, though you can't tell what chaos he had caused behind him. The police didn't indicate that anyone else had called them, so I suspect that he hadn't been caused or been involved in an accident.
The other half was asked whether she would be happy to give a witness statement. I guess it depends on his statement and what he can remember, or not. I've no idea how these things work.

I presume witness statement is needed to supply evidence as to why the Police became involved, their having not witnessed any offence from the driver.

I'd have thought the BTCC footage would show how poor they are at avoiding collisions.
I must be getting old...
