I'm unreasonably traumatised

What a dreadful experience, kittylester! So sorry to hear this.

I'm glad you're going through your insurance company. Some years ago, when a drunken driver crashed into our perimeter wall damaging the garden, the police attended and recommended we report it to our household insurance company for them to deal with the driver's motor insurer.

It took a while to be put right but it didn't cost us anything. Try not to worry too much (easy for me to say!) as it will all come right eventually.

Ouch, petra, that sounds awful.

I know how you feel.
Many years ago I was in a very very old house when a small lorry literally came through into the front room.
I hit a house myself, once.
Raining, going round a right hand bend driver coming towards me lost control on the bend. I instinctively turned left to avoid him and hit the house ( no front garden full on.

Kitty...vino is definitely needed. I hope you feel better really soon. X

25ft! How terrifying! So glad no one was hurt, though. X

No wonder you're shaken and what a nightmare. I'm wondering if the driver is actually not insured hence why he suggested his mate fix your wall.

That is traumatic! I’m so glad no one was hurt, but my mind would be in overdrive imagining all the awful things that might have occurred.

So sorry about your wall too.

Hope you’re feeling less stressed now

Thanknyiu all for being lovely.

I think I've misled you - the truck was one of those that plumbers/builders have not a haulage type one. The owner is a self employed odd job man.

We have taken photos and will go through our insurance. Our house is not listed but is part of a converted Victorian Board School and in the village conservation area.

I think I need another

Blimey. I don't think it is unreasonable to be traumatised by that at all.

How on earth could a truck roll-over??

Have a nice cup of tea with some sugar for the shock.

1 think she said it rolled back and hit the wall Ambergran, not rolled over.

Definitely do not let a mate of the driver arrange to get the repair done. Go through your insurers who, in turn, will claim off either the driver or the owner of the haulage company…….thats what they have public liability cover for.
Sorry to hear this has happened and fortunately, no one was injured! It sounds like a lovely wall too.

Im not surprised you are feeling traumatised. What a shock. Definitely go through insurance

Goodness kitty, no wonder the shock hit you. Exactly right, insurance must sort this one out. Your wall needs rebuilding by a craftsman. I’m sure you’ll have taken photos of the damage, with luck the actual incident will have been captured by someone’s door camera or security camera. Not that there’s any doubt - your wall didn’t jump onto the lorry. I think you deserve a glass of something this evening.

Oh flipping heck Kitty definitely insurance job.

I would be shaky, upset and cross.

Take care

Not unreasonable at all. A terrible shock. Take care of yourself.

Lucky no one was killed. Don’t let his mate touch your wall as it will need a proper stone mason to sort it out surely ‘on their insurance’

Oh goodness kitty I’d be traumatised too, what a pain.

Thank you, J52. Not sure the truck owner will be happy about that. But, we are going down that route.

Blimey. I don't think it is unreasonable to be traumatised by that at all.

Oh Kitty how awful for you. You are probably in shock, Thank goodness there were no injuries . I’m sure your insurance will sort it out.
