Summary

Traffic officers encountered a bizarre roadside scene near the M180 when a Mickey Mouse figure was discovered amongst trees. Officer Andrew Richards humorously recounted his surprise, comparing the find to a Disney World flashback.
This unexpected discovery is part of a broader issue where authorities regularly deal with debris on roadways, ranging from construction materials and vehicle parts to deceased animals. The presence of such items poses safety risks and requires immediate attention.
