Dagenham: So, there’s this guy, Colin Aylward, who caught a wild scene on his CCTV. A Mercedes-Benz driver smashed into a parked car and a tree, then just drove off like it was no big deal. Can you believe that?
Colin, who’s 52, didn’t even hear the crash. He only noticed something was off when he saw the parked car way too close to his driveway. He said, “The parked car has been taken now. It wasn’t my car.”
He thought it was odd that the blue estate was parked so close. After checking the footage, he saw the Mercedes backing up and hitting the parked car. Crazy, right?
He found white paint from the Mercedes on the tree and kerb nearby. After realizing the parked car had moved, he went back to the footage and saw the whole thing unfold.
Even though the parked car got a bit banged up, Colin thinks the Mercedes took a bigger hit. He reported it to the police, but they didn’t seem too interested. He mentioned that this kind of thing happens a lot in Dagenham, which he feels is getting more dangerous.
This isn’t the first time Colin’s caught something strange on his cameras. Just last September, he filmed a taxi driver doing his business right on the street. What a neighborhood, huh?
