There was an accident outside my son's house. A Mercedes with 4 occupants stopped because a worker was moving a road sign. A van came up at speed and hit a car which was sitting behind the Mercedes.
The car containing a woman and a small child was pushed through a hedge. En route it glanced off the
back of the Mercedes causing minor damage to the bumper, tail light and the 1/4 panel. An ambulance
arrived on scene followed by a recovery truck, then the fire brigade. The Mercedes occupants all claimed to be injured and unable to exit the car. The fire people said they would have to remove the roof of the
Mercedes. The recovery truck driver and the ambulance men said to my son -the threat of removing
a roof usually brings about a speedy recovery. But not in this case, the Mercedes occupants still
remained in their car. Roof was removed and more ambulances(5 in all) summoned to the scene.
The ambulance, the recovery truck driver, the fire people and the police were all convinced there
was nothing wrong with the Mercedes occupants. The hospital's A&E was contacted and the situation
was explained. The Mercedes occupants were seen by a consultant and promptly sent on their way. By
way of contrast, the woman said she was very grateful she and her child were not injured even though
her car was written off. The driver of the van said it was his first accident in 45 years of driving. Why do some people have to try it on?
