Leicestershire bin lorry driver filmed on mobile phone

A refuse collector has been filmed using his mobile phone while driving on a country lane.

The footage was captured by a colleague who said he raised the problem with employers, without result.

The vehicle was being driven through the Leicestershire countryside towards Market Harborough, with the driver admitting he was "daydreaming".

FCC Environmental, which operates the service, said a "full investigation" was under way.
