Meh.  If you watch the video footage from this cluster f*ck on Youtube you'll see the 'ring taxi pile into the mess at an almighty speed.

Really should have figured out what was going on from rather further back - it would have been pretty obvious.  :rolleyes:

TBH you may find the rented 'vette is all covered up.  Swedes tend to do things properly and other EU countries don't seem to have the same level of The Fear on them about the 'ring that UK insurers have. :rolleyes:

There's a link to 9:55 in the description.  Ring taxi comes in hot at around 10:30 as the camera car is leaving.

'Police are still investigating, but cite "excessive speed" as the cause.'         :rolleyes:
