We are appealing for help to identify a man who kissed a woman on the cheek to thank her for helping when his lorry became stuck under a low bridge.

The incident occurred between 12pm and 4pm on Tuesday, 28 April, in Dale Road, Matlock.

The heavy goods vehicle had become stuck and the woman, who is in her 70s, helped the men to ensure the lorry did not hit the bridge.

After the lorry became unstuck one of the men in the lorry left the vehicle, thanked the woman and kissed her on the cheek.
