In the early hours of Sunday morning a van crashed into my mum's parked Peugeot 206 at high speed. Not sure how the crash happened but it caused my mum's car to spin and the van driver must have hit the back of it as well. My neighbour said that it was a Police chase but I'm not 100% sure on that one. My parents were asleep throughout and didn't even wake up when the Police were knocking on their door at around 3am. They only found out when they woke up at around 9am. Thankfully the Police left a note for them giving them the van's registration number and registered keeper details (it was a hired van from the Wirral - Not sure what it was doing in Kent). There are no signs of any skidmarks so my guess is that the driver fell asleep at the wheel. Anyway, here are the pics:
They got a courtesy Ford Ka today and waiting for the Salvage company to take the car away. Does anybody have any experience of these situations? How long would they have to wait roughly until they get an offer of settlement from the insurance company?
Thanks,
Steve
