Last night, as we were coming back from a wedding do at about 8.20pm we were involved in an accident.

We were driving along Moscow Mill St (near the Printers in Ossy) about to turn left into Union Rd. When we were about 30ft from the junction a lunatic in a white car raced around the corner - they were coming along Union Rd from the station direction and turning into Moscow Mill St. They were going so fast that they were totally on the wrong side of the road and so smashed into our front end.

Fortunately, we drive a sturdy car and Chris reacted really well so swerved a little minimising the damage but it still made a mess and shook us all up (we had the kids in the back as well) nobody was actually injured.

This in itself would have been annoying but then the driver reversed at breakneck speed back onto Union Rd, amazingly missing the cars that were driving along and the 8 witnesses that saw it all, and then sped back off the way they came towards Church traffic lights. Anyone can potter along and see the tyre marks on the wrong side of the road that they made to see their path. Because the car that they were driving was a souped up vauxhall vectra (could have been an escort or that sort of thing) the front of it sort of disintegrated as they were driving away and left a right mess (again on the wrong side of the road) just underneath the speed camera.

We're all ok and the landlady from the Printers was great, she made us coffee and gave the kids juice, and we've got plenty of witnesses so our story was verified to the police when they got there.

The reason I'm posting this is because we are appealing for any more information. If by a fluke anybody else saw what direction they went in after they got to Church traffic lights or if anyone has seen an abandoned white car (probably burnt up in a field by now) please let me know.
