Crash driver flees with crate of eggs

A MAN fled the scene of a crash with a “crate of eggs” after smashing into parked cars in Dundee.

Three vehicles along Balunie Avenue and Balmullo Square were damaged in the incident in the early hours of yesterday.

Police Scotland confirmed they had received a report of a car “colliding with parked vehicles” shortly after midnight and are hunting a man and two women who ran away following the incident.

Marilyn Towers’ Ford Focus was badly damaged and she fears the vehicle is now a “write-off”.

The 66-year-old said: “Our car was moved forward literally two parking spaces as a result of what happened.

They must have been going at a fair speed to have done this.

“Our neighbour said the person involved reversed back after they’d smashed into our car and headed towards Balmullo Square where I understand other vehicles were damaged.

“I’m angry about what has happened because it’s going to be us that’s out of pocket.

“The car is probably a write-off due to the nature of the damage.”

Donna Todd, who lives on Balmullo Square, said they heard a “big bang” as the silver Vauxhall involved came into their street.

She added: “The car collided with a van and another car on my street. I saw two females getting out and a man who was carrying a crate of eggs bizarrely enough.

“He ran towards a gap in Balmullo Square and the two females ran in the opposite direction. I was wondering what the hell was going on.

“I was half asleep but when I went out in the morning there are smashed eggs on the ground near one of the damaged vehicles.”

Both Marilyn and Donna confirmed police soon arrived and began combing the surrounding area in an effort to catch the group.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “We received a report of a car colliding with parked vehicles on Balunie Avenue, Dundee, around 12.20am on Thursday.”
