Missus and I were about to leave home for a trip to Norwich to sort the Xmas gift shopping as it was a nice sunny but cold day. Car defrosting on the drive then an almighty BANG.
Looked on the road and a woman had managed to drive straight into a Merc parked on the roadside, spinning her Citroen C4 around to face the wrong way and minus the front left wheel. She gets out the car, stumbles about in shock from being smacked in the face by the airbag so I run down and get her off the road before she gets trimmed out. Missus looks after her and i start slowing oncoming traffic and sorting emergency services as sun is very low in the sky facing oncoming traffic and a wagon almost piles into the wreckage
12 year old copper turns up and parks completely wrong side and strolls up hands in pocket so suggest to him where the car should be put to fend off oncoming traffic and he looks at me and says “yeah that makes sense ….. it’s my first accident”
All the wreckage gets cleared away eventually and turns out the owner of the Merc is delighted his car has been mullered as it broke down, needs a new engine and is now a write off so saved him a fortune in repair costs …. Bonus
