Driver goes 'ballistic' as truck driver drags his parked car down the road

A driver went "ballistic" and was left fuming after a truck driver dragged his parked car down the road.

Steve Brown, manager of a security company based at an industrial estate in Crewe, Cheshire, said he watched on in horror as the driver attempted to move his motor.

In footage of the incident the man can be seen tying a rope to his car and then dragging it along a road, Cheshire Live reported.

Steve alleges truck drivers have been 'dumping' trailers in and around the industrial estate where he works and coming back to collect them another day.

The business owner claims his vehicle was parked legally in front of a trailer when the trucker took it upon himself to move it.

Steve witnessed everything unfold and, after recording a video of the incident, confronted the driver.

"I was absolutely ballistic, I just thought 'I don't believe this' I was screaming at him," Steve said.

"I park my car opposite Peugeot on Gateway.

"My car was parked in front his trailer and he decided he was going to put a massive rope and hook and drag my car away from his trailer which had been there for two weeks.

"It's what they do. Another business owner has reported them to the council and they've done nothing."

Steve said that when he confronted the driver, he told Steve that he used to be a recovery driver and there would be no damage to his car.

"I said 'what do you mean there's no damage?'" Steve continued.

"He pulled up in a heavy goods truck and put a massive rope and hook around my car and dragged it in gear.

"He dragged it about 10 feet. It's bent my steering arm and messed up my gear stick."

Steve also said that the whole incident was seen by a police officer who was conducting a traffic stop nearby.

"He did that in front of a traffic cop, I'm surprised they did nothing," Steve added.

"The police had pulled a car over at the back of the trailer.

"While they were dealing with the driver they pulled over, that idiot in a truck comes along and drags the car out in front of the police."

Steve claims repairs to his Fiat panda will now cost around £500.
