COLLISION LEAVES DRIVER IN THE PINK
A car was severely damaged after a collision in St Alfege Street on Thursday morning.
The car, a Saab 99 Aero belonging to local businessman George Chittling, crossed the white line in the centre of the road and collided with an oncoming dumper truck.
The truck, which was destined for the Little Monsters kindergarten, had just left Sweet-U-Like and was carrying a full load of fresh blancmange. The force of the impact caused the front of the dumper truck to spring forward, denting the bonnet of Mr Chittling’s car and inundating it with 120 gallons of sticky, pink dessert.
Mr Chittling, who is the owner manager of Chittling's Balls and Brackets, was unhurt in the incident. He told the Observer: “The accident was entirely my fault. I was driving with the top down when I noticed a pretty young lady pedestrian and was distracted for a moment. The next thing I know, bang! I’m swimming in blancmange.”
“I’ve heard of getting your just desserts, but this is ridiculous!”
