A car crash recorded in Olton railway station in the West Midlands leaves us all feeling a bit better about our driving skills.
The motorist is caught on camera, most peculiarly losing control of the vehicle whilst reversing out of a space and somehow colliding into three cars.
How and why it happened, is altogether a different story, but we do know that the careless driver swiftly left the car park without leaving so much as a note of apology.
The police have since launched a public appeal to find the driver; the collision took place at Olton railway station in Solihull, just after 1:20 p.m.
Investigating officer PC Ali Jama reveals:
Despite extensive inquiries, officers have yet to trace the driver of the silver Ford Escort which collided with three parked cars before the driver left the scene.
I am today hoping that someone will recognise the car and/or the driver, and come forward with information which can assist the investigation.
Unfortunately, the CCTV camera did not capture any part of the vehicle’s registration.
A lot of car parks do warn “leave at your own risk”, but is it really any good having CCTV footage that shows what happened, but does not show enough detail to do anything about it?
If you do happen to have information on this collision, contact British Transport Police on Freefone 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016.
