🚗💥 Unbelievable scenes in Skelmanthorpe! A black 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander took an unexpected tumble, flipping upside down and crashing right into the front window of Improved U Fitness gym. 😲
Josh Haigh, only two hours into his first reception shift, heard a distant car alarm and then witnessed the shocking incident unfold. “There was a huge bang and suddenly, glass was everywhere!” he exclaimed. Caught up in the chaos, Josh managed to snap some pics of the dramatic aftermath.
Gym owner Kieran Sanderson was stunned when he got the frantic call: “Kieran, you need to get down here, a car’s come through the reception window!” With the car park located on the other side of the building, it was hard to believe how it happened. Turns out, the car rolled down from a nearby hill, with no fence to stop it!
Despite the shocking event, there were no injuries, and the gym team found a way to see the humour in the situation. “We laughed it off once we knew everyone was safe,” Kieran shared. The retrieval was no small feat either, with multiple vehicles struggling to crane the car out safely. Finally, a massive articulated wagon managed to hoist it away from the gym.
What a first day for Josh, right? 🚘😱 Thankfully, all’s well that ends well, and the gym will bounce back from this wild tale. 💪 Stay safe and maybe consider a parking brake next time, folks!
