That mishap occurred at 8.30am yesterday when the vehicle transporter towing the 4x4s – some still in their plastic wrapping –got caught, the roofs of some of the luxury cars being ripped off.

Gareth Ruddock, 40, saw the accident, and he said: “I was just there dropping my wife off at the station and I did a double take. There are some open-topped cars now. Some of them still had their plastic on. They must have been getting delivered.”
