NO-ONE is hurt, first off, we were all sitting watching average Joe, when we hear this almight bang, we look out the window, and the van has gone, it was parked on the roadside outside our house, hubby brings it in before he goes to bed usually.
Anyway to cut a long story short, this young guy had come around the corner, ploughed right into it, kept driving and then ploughed into our neighbours two doors down letterbox, ruining it , the fence and power and phone lines.
You guessed it this young man had been drinking, he said only a couple of beers, yeah right, police were called, but they took a while, hubby told him you are not driving that car, luckily he co-operated and locked his car up and began walking.
We have all his details, and he is a builder in the sub-division nearby, he fell asleep at the wheel , because he was tired and had too much to drink.
The Van went right across the middle of the road, took out a sign post, this was extremely lucky there were no on-coming cars.
The van will probably be written off by the insurance company, which will actually work out better for the company, but still it just makes you think of what could have happened.
We had the police van with the two dogs, who were going to track him, then another cop car turn up later, our big excitement for the evening on Friday the 13th.
I hope this young man has learned his lesson from this, but somehow I doubt it, he was not insured either, but said don't worry I earn good money, we shall see won't we, its like the saying the cheques in the mail., should be ok though as the van has full insurance.
As nothing terribly eventful ever happens in my life , thought I would share this with you all lol.:)
