Shock moment Asda delivery driver smashes into parked Audi before driving off

This is the shocking moment a delivery driver reverses their white Asda van into an Audi A3 and smashes into the side window before driving off.

Paul Barker claims the delivery driver didn't even leave a note after colliding with his car outside his home in Bromley, South East London on April 9.

Footage shows a driver in the white Asda van reversing into Paul's parked car and causing the corner of the vehicle to smash into the driver's side window.

The van appears to have been travelling too quickly and collides heavily with the Audi, which can cost up to £30,000.

Paul, 40, claims the driver drove off straight after and didn't even attempt to make contact or track down him or his partner.

The smash also left the car door battered and dented.

Luckily, a passing civilian caught the whole thing on their dash-cam.

Images show the driver's door caved in with a large hole punctured through it while the window can be seen smashed.

Asda today apologised for the incident and said that "from time to time accidents can happen".

Speaking today, Paul said: "Asda have been useless to say the least, they took an entirety to identify the van but still haven't given us insurance details.

"We cannot get the car fixed until we have those details. They seem to just think they can fob people off.

"We want to get the car back on the road but it is not driveable, we just want to put this behind us.

"Unfortunately, we have had no apology for the incident and nobody has called despite me providing my number.

"There can be no claim from the driver that he didn't notice as they haven't just nicked the car, they have put a hole in it.

"If you don't know or don't feel that impact then you should not be on the road."

An Asda spokesperson today said: "From time to time accidents can happen.

"We are in contact with Mr Barker to get his car fixed as soon as possible but we apologise for any inconvenience this has caused."
