Help: Skip lorry just knocked down fence!

[perc]

My next door neighbour just had a skip collected off their drive. I saw the skip lorry loading the skip onto it.

I then heard a crunch and looked out a couple of minutes later to find a fence panel broke and my block drive damaged. The neighbours bush has been crushed as well. Unfortunately I did not get the lorry's reg or company name.

I have posted a letter through the neighbours door. Has anything like this happened to anyone else, and if so what was the outcome?

Isn't the phone number be on the skip?

Unforunately they were collecting it, still awaiting my neighbours return.

Thanks for all of the replies so far.....

My dad owns a Skip company...

He offers insurance to his customers (within the pricing), and in fairness they are warned pre-delivery/collection about moving the skip to a place that might not be possible for the lorry to get to... so if anything is damaged they can be refunded in some way, and if they did move it.. tough teabags!

Not sure why he didn't stop ( ) but at least the neighbour can ring them up and mention that you saw the event!

I am hoping that this is what will happen.

Neighbours still not home ..... hoping that they have not gone away for christmas
