Crash!

At just after 2am this morning we were woken by an almighty crashing noise outside.. followed by someone ringing our door bell. MrD lept out of bed.. threw on some clothes over his PJs.. and answered the door to a young girl who was talking so fast we could hardly understand her.. but we got the gist.. She had crashed her car into MrD's parked truck

MrD went out to Inspect the damage.. and the girl said she had been driving from her friends house down the street when her dog had suddenly jumped on her lap and she had lost control of the car. The young man with her was staying very quiet. Although the girl was very apologetic.. two things were obvious. First.. she must have been going very fast as the collision was so great the the truck had been pushed at an angle into the middle of the street. Amazingly there was minimal damage to the truck.. but her car was in a terrible mess and totally undrivable. And secondly.. when asked.. she denied having a drink.. but she and the young man smelt strongly of alcohol. The police arrived.. our neighbours had called them.. took everyone's details but there wasnt much we could tell them... although they did help get the  truck into the driveway. 

We left it in their hands and went back inside.. it was another 2 hours before a tow truck arrived to take the damaged car away. We got in touch with our insurance company after breakfast and the ball is now rolling.. but I know MrD is very annoyed with the situation. 

We shall see what happens!
