There was chaos in the car park of a busy Welsh hospital ,after a recovery vehicle departed with a car that fell off, crashing into several others. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday morning, left exasperated visitors stranded for more than an hour as efforts to resolve the situation persisted.

Onlookers reported witnessing the car slide halfway off the rear of a recovery vehicle as it was departing the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, causing it to smash into multiple parked vehicles and entirely obstruct access to parking spaces.

Dramatic scenes ensued as repeated efforts to haul the car back onto the lorry proved unsuccessful, leaving the vehicle suspended. A second recovery truck had to be summoned to the location.

A witness said it required around an hour and a half before the car was eventually secured and the car park reopened.

Throughout this period, several parked cars sustained damage and hospital visitors were left marooned, unable to relocate their vehicles, reports Wales Online.

Russell Spencer-Downe, a witness to the incident, said: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The car was hanging dangerously off the side of the recovery truck, hitting other vehicles and blocking the whole car park.

“People were stuck for over an hour and a half before they finally managed to sort it out.”

A video of the incident was shared with WalesOnline, showing what appears to be a white Nissan dangerously hanging from the back of a large recovery vehicle, the whole of its left side leaning against several parked cars.

Meanwhile, a second video shows three men working together to drag the recovery vehicle towards them, making evident progress as the Nissan is visibly away from the parked vehicles.
