insane clown Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 was woken up by crashing and other horrid sounds, a speeding D/driver hit my ford focus on the rear quarter sending it in the hedge, i parked it over the road 50yards away so i can work on the scoob on drive...on a 30mph road he clipped a fiesta mirror parked behind me and then hit mine, it ripped his front wheel and hub clean off, he just missed one elecy pole, (he would of hit this if my car weren't there !...) on 3 wheels he went a further 75yards clipped another elecy pole and ended up on a drive 10 inches from the house opposite, ... he was driving the ford thunder, big version of the ranger, beer can on the dash, and it's his dads company with sign writing all over it, the police know him, he is an a***... he done a runner, i see him stagger out the cab and "legged it" .. the cars a mess, but judging by the difference in damage, i rate the focus estate far superior to the ranger!!...at least i got 4 wheels still attached...the impact broke his rear cab window, but not on mine, i found the lock from the filler cap actualy on my drive and i had grease spattered over the scoob!!..... i'll get some piccies up soon, i want to go and retrieve some bits from inside the car. mark Link to comment

insane clown Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 right it sounds like he has been arrested, but can't get him on the drink drive, don't know any other detail, police are supposed to be around here tuesday evening. i've started a claim through solicitors, and as i was pulling up tonight, the chap who works with him, not sure if it was the guvner or not, he was coming out of next door, and me julie was walking back indoors with paper, he blanked me, i wasn't sure who he was, ...anyway he gave us insurance details and a business card!... policy holder was the name of the firm,.... the bit where is says persons entitled to drive was just.. the owners name?... he gave all these stories that how guilty the lad is (21 yr old been driving 1 year) he smashed his car up with an axe, and took it to the scrappers,...he says he never wants to drive again ...............how much of that i believe i'm not sure, but i'm going to track him down, ask around, and see how true he is. they are assessing the car on wednesday. oh yes.... the house where he ended up before running have gone to the papers, and just asked permission to use our photos ect.... there have been deaths on this road in the past and nothing done about it... so..... here we go update tomoorow after hopfully talking to police. mark Link to comment
insane clown Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 **quick update** police just been, looking good, he has been questioned, they want him in again, looking at 6 offences, 2 years ban, he wasn't insured on the firms vehicle either, so the owner is up for it too. they have been waiting to get him on something,..... the officer just said while he was in the kebab shop next to the pub tonight, he heard him laughing and joking... so he went in up to his face and just said well see who has the last laugh eh!.... his face dropped apparently, the police really want to kane him and the company..... so looking good so full steam ahead on claiming for everything i can..... mark Link to comment
