Norwich City's Flynn Clarke drove 'stupidly' ahead of crash, say police

A footballer jailed for causing serious injury to three people by dangerous driving has been condemned by police for driving "incredibly stupidly".

Norwich City midfielder Flynn Clarke, 20, pleaded guilty to the charges and was jailed for 12 months on Friday.

Cambridgeshire Police said he was driving to a rave and nitrous oxide cannisters were found in the car.

PC Alex Thomas said the outcome of the crash, on the A47 near Peterborough, "could have been much worse".
