Ludovic Depestel, 39, from the town of Armentières near the Belgian border in northern France, got the letter in the post last week, according to TF1 television, ordering him to pay no less than €25,554 for destruction caused to road side barriers in the crash.
The problem being that the father of three, whose vehicle was wrecked, didn’t cause the accident.
Depestel’s only crime, he says, was being contactable by local authorities seeking damages for destruction of motorway infrastructure.
