Car crashes into a hire skip

Posted by Local Fishern

I never knew skip hire was going to play an integral part in my life this year, but it did. It all began 3 months before the annual vegetable competition. My favourite time of the year!

I had terrible luck last year. The very night before the comp, a fox came and nibbled on my radishes which had the potential to win it! The fox left the raid on the nearby road after realising he didn’t like the taste of my prized radishes allowing passing cars to squash them into slush. This was the day before the big comp!

I sought out the help of a skip hire company. I needed a skip hire to help me clean out the old soil, and lay fresh for mouth watering vegetables to grow. I wanted to win for sure this year, so I planned to do all the work myself, but needed to the skip hire companies help in disposing my waste!

the skip hire company told me I would need to place the skip on the road, as my garden was small. This would require a permit and more costage, but it didn’t bother me, the winning was all that mattered.

My skip soon got half full, I had been busy all day and all night to get my prized possessions looking like I wanted them to. I was so keen to get the work done, one night I forgot to place cones and lights around my skip to make road users aware of it. After all there was a huge skip in the middle of the road .

It was around 1:53AM when I was awoken by a massive bang. My first reaction was a plane had crashed into my house, it actually turned out to be an expensive audi slam dunking into my skip outside my house! I rushed downstairs and phoned the police, as I got outside, i discovered the driver was still alive. The audi had saved the day with the high level of gadgets and rock solid shell, doing what they were designed to do.

The police and ambulance arrived and took him away. The next morning I got on the phone to the skip hire company, they informed me that it was responsibility to ensure the safety of road users. They s the skip hire company had done their bit, by providing me with the skip, the permit and the necessary equipment needed to warn drivers at night.

I didn’t win the competition and was also left with a massive repair bill and the injured man was trying to claim conpensation. Just my luck eh?!
