Reckless teenager throws shopping trolley into oncoming traffic
Two teenagers in Exeter threw a trolley over a bridge into oncoming traffic in what appears to be a prank filmed for Snapchat.
Young boys have been known to pull daring stunts to prove a point to their friends. Often, this kind of mischief only results in minor injuries and a little bit of regret.
But for two boys from Exeter, one quick stunt may have put them in line for a lifetime of guilt.

Early this week, users of the video-sharing app Snapchat saw a video of a boy in a black hoodie throwing an empty shopping trolley over the side of a dual carriageway. The boy seems to be carrying out a challenge while his friend films it.
Local police were alerted to the incident, and Metro reports that while the boys were not found anywhere near the bridge, the police are in pursuit of "one youth, aged 14 to 16".
There have been no reports of cars being damaged or people being injured by the falling trolley.
