We don't know what happened apart from a few attention grabbing headlines.
Perhaps they emerged from their destroyed motor, dazed and confused and a nice lady set them sit in her car, a short time later a paramedic with many years experience, and / or a doctor who arrives via helicopter tells you not to move in case, oh you know you're paralysed / drop dead.
Of course we're all powerfully build keyboard warriors on here, we would have pushed aside the emergency services, put out the fire in the engine bay of our car, gaffer taped the doors back on a drove ourselves to the Hospital, but only after stopped home for a bit the let things "die down" or called our own private healthcare service.

Sad but true.

A spokesman for the South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "While the pair were sheltering in the car they developed neck pain."
Shouldn't that read...
"While the pair were sheltering in the car they developed a strategy for a claim."
You Cynic! but totally agree with you.Shouldn't that read...
"While the pair were sheltering in the car they developed a strategy for a claim."

She should have set the merc alight, then seen how quick the spongers could get out of it!

They probably got the neck pain from the awful cheap trim they had to sit on!
I was reading the article on my phone when a huge threatening red message on the BBC site warned me of cookies. Naturally I jerked my head away from the screen with gaping cartoon "cats tail slammed in door" eyes and got whiplash.
The tramps on the bench got whiplash shock by watching my whiplash, then the passerby's whiplashed whilst rubbernecking. And the approaching bus driver whiplashed himself watching it all, the bus did an endo on its front wheels and everyone on board is dead.
So I got out my stylaphone and played a sad tune, because when will this madness ever end?!?
We can't blame the government for this one, but if I was an alien and I'd just landed (due to wiplash) I would pity the inhabitants of this planet.
