Many moons ago when i was on Recovery we had a Police call to a 3 vehicle fatal RTA.Apparantly a Renault 18 had gone through a Thames Valley Police speed trap on the main A33 into Reading.Off goes the Police motorcyclist in hot pursuit.
The A33 after the M4 goes into single carriageway - no sign of Renault slowing so Mr Policeman holds back.
Renault promptly goes on wrong side of road head on into a Scania 8 x 4 tipper.Force of impact kills Renault driver outright
and knocks the first axle of the tipper straight out and under the second axle.
It then emerges the Driver had held up a Post Office just over the border in Hampshire before fleeing into Berkshire.It was presumed he thought the Police were chasing him for the robbery and not speeding as they actually were.
His ill-gotten gains...........£150.00 IN 50 AND 20 PENCE PIECES.
I'm the slim one leaning on the lamp post......
This next one is a bit more graphic............BE WARNED OR DON'T GO ANY FURTHER (Mods delete pic if inappropriate)
