Force rescues Darth Vader on M1
Dave Prowse, who plays Darth Vader in the Star Wars films, was saved by the Highways Agency motorway rescue force.
While assisting Dave, who lives in Croydon, the traffic officers realised who he was and also the unusual history of his Mercedes car.
"The car was previously owned by my good friend Kenny Baker who was R2D2," said Dave.
"He used to keep a little ladder inside the boot so he could climb up and put his suitcases inside.
"When he had finished, he'd put the ladder back and used a cord to shut the boot.
"I decided to leave the cord there as a reminder of the car's previous owner."
The article also mentions Prowse's role as the Green Cross Code Man promoting traffic safety.
