We live at the end of a cul de sac on a hill with no street lights. Lost driver tried turning around.

No major damage to the house / garden hopefully?

andicole0 · 30 Jul 2018 at 12:30

Looks OK but still waiting for a crane to get it out. Granite stones will need a bit of tidying up but hopefully wall is ok, young driver was quite shaken up. Been here this morning with his dad waiting for the RAC but they are a no show so far. Driver and his dad been very nice about things as have we ;-)

Did they slide down sideways or something?

andicole0 · 30 Jul 2018 at 13:43

Reversed over the edge then when trying to go forwards is looks like it just slipped down, it was raining and had been all day. Attempts to get back up just got the car to slip further down against the house.

Doh! Won't it be easier to pull it out rather than use a crane?

Maybe but that is the recovery peoples decision, I would but then I wouldn't want to be responsible. The only inconvenience I have is that I can't get my wheelie bin past

I guess accidents happen but jeez hope there is no damage for your property and at least no one was hurt

BeeP · 30 Jul 2018 at 15:16

Ouchies, I bet he is a lot more careful in the future though.

andicole0 · 30 Jul 2018 at 15:25

His mum has arrived now! As has the recovery guy, who seems a bit negative about things.

Recover driver wad rude accused the driver of lying about it happened. Says it can't be recovered without destroying the car and probably damaging the house. Owner is going to consult friends.

Lol what?! Strops on the 2 outer wheels. Skids under the 2 inner. Pull it out away from the house. Job done.

andicole0 · 30 Jul 2018 at 16:15

Owner has cancelled recovery, going to consult a mechanic friend. I have suggested a wood ramp can be built. Probably see tomorrow now.
