A local dad has released some startling footage of a Mini Cooper hitting his car at speed last night on the A580 East Lancs.
Jay Bradley, from Astley, was driving from Abram in Wigan towards Salford last night at around 7.50pm when a silver Mini Cooper cut in from behind him and clipped his passenger side door.
Dashcam footage from the front and rear of his blue Ford Mondeo shows the Mini barrelling up a bus lane before swerving across two lanes, clipping Jay’s car.
Inside at the time were Jay’s three children, age nine, ten and a 15-month-old baby.
“This idiot could have caused a fatal accident at the speed he was travelling at,” said Jay.
“Just by luck after he clipped me I managed to control the car and not bounce off into the central reservation.
“He was not bothered as he sped off again at high speed.
“I managed to get his registration number and have reported it to the police, who assure me that they are investigating.
“I have been told that this car has been spotted driving at speed around the Astley area with different plates which I assume are stolen.
“This idiot needs to be caught as quickly as possible before there is a fatal accident.”
