Woman's brand new car completely wrecked - hours after selling her old vehicle
Dashcam footage shows the moment a woman's brand new car was completely wrecked - hours after she sold her old vehicle. Adele Gough, 34, was running errands and had just come off Swindon's Magic Roundabout when a car hit her. Footage shows Adele driving along Country Road on the A4289 when a black vehicle suddenly veers off its side of the road and smashes into her brand new car. The collision destroyed the car and Adele spent the night in hospital with severe bruising around her lower stomach and whiplash on the back of her neck. Adele had purchased the MG Motor car less than a month prior and had only sold her old car earlier that day. She didn't press charges but she submitted an insurance claim which she hopes will cover the cost of her car - £4,499.

I live in New Cross, in south-east London, and, to get to my office in Victoria, I traverse various boroughs to cover seven miles of the city by bike. Lately, I’ve strapped a GoPro camera on too, to record the idiocy I see.

Today, you are more likely to see a Rover 200 in a repeat of Keeping Up Appearances than on the road; indeed, Aaron Marrs’ 1990 213 SX is believed to be the sole roadworthy example.
