Collision happened in Worting Road
2:00pm Thursday 19th July 2012 in Local
Wayne MacAskill
A DELIVERY driver has made an app-eal for help after he was involved in a collision with a driver who then drove off.
Wayne MacAskill was driving his Isuzu truck in Worting Road, Buck-skin, Basingstoke, in the early hours of Sunday, July 1, when a car pulled out of West Ham Lane.
The 37-year-old, of Stag Hill, South Ham, said: “He pulled out in front of me and before I could brake, his car was t-boned in the main road. He then reversed back into West Ham Lane and when I
pulled over into a bus stop, he shot off.”
The car, a red Ford Focus, drove off towards Oakley.
Mr MacAskill, who delivers luxury toilets, was driving back from a delivery to Goodwood, West Sussex. The collision damaged his front bumper and one of his headlights.
He said: “It’s not a huge amount of damage but it’s enough to take it off the road. It’s extremely frustrating because I was pulling over to swap insurance details.”
The other car sustained more significant damage to its side, Mr MacAskill said.
He described the driver as being aged between 25 and 30-years-old.
If anyone has information about the incident, they should contact Basingstoke police on 101.

Keep an eye of Facebay, eBay, Autotrader & Gumtree. I suspect the guy will move it on, unless it belongs to one of the numerous car workshops in the estate.

Tell me, oh perfect one, when did you become God and able to judge others with no evidence whatsoever?
You've clearly got some issues - but you need to get help with that jealousy problem dude. How about aspiring to improve your life, rather than trying to drag people down to your lower level?

"Wayne MacAskill was driving his Isuzu truck" at what speed? Such vehicles are not know for the owners to obey speed limits or other rules. (Not forgiving the actions of the Focus driver before any of the dumber posters start...)
