Driver deliberately crosses on to wrong side of road to massacre nine ducks by mowing them down.

A driver massacred nine ducks by deliberately crossing onto the wrong side of the road to mow them down, claim outraged East Yorkshire locals.

CCTV captured the moment when a motorist swerved onto the wrong side of the road and drove straight over the ducks next to a village pond in Nafferton.

Out of the 10 birds that were hit, eight died immediately and one had to be put down by a vet.

Only one duck survived in the incident that occurred just after 3am last week Friday.

A similar incident reportedly occurred last year, when eight ducks were mowed down.

Yvonne Tagg, a local woman who looks after the ducks on the pond, said: ‘I got a call… All the ducks were dead in the road.’

CCTV footage from a neighbour’s home indicates that the car, which has been described as ‘short and dark, possibly a Volkswagen Golf’, crossed over to the wrong side of the road, ran over the ducks and continued on.

‘I’m glad the CCTV was there this time because it proves that it was done with malice. This was no accident,’ said Ms Tagg.

‘They’ve got to be caught, because they can’t do it again.

‘A lady picked up one at about 6am that was still alive. A vet came out, but it had to be put down. I’m looking after another one currently that managed to survive.’

She continued: ‘For somebody to do that, they’re just not of sound mind.

‘I’m not the only one who’s upset about this, I’ve had a woman nearly in tears. Everyone is really upset, especially to know that someone’s done this on purpose.

‘We’ve put it up on Facebook to appeal for witnesses.’

One angry user wrote on the Facebook page of local paper Driffield and Wolds Weekly: ‘Looking at the speed the car was going and at that time in the morning the driver could have been drunk!

‘Plus the direction they came from at the speed they didn’t turn right they just cut the whole turn altogether and more than likely didn’t see the ducks let alone care it could have quite easily been a human walking home from a night out.’

They added: ‘Either way they need finding and removing from our roads !’

Another wrote: ‘Oh my god! He drove over to the other side to deliberately run them over? Why would anyone want to do that?! I really want to go get the rest of the babies.’
