Rishi Rao, whose car was broken into
Rishi (42 years old) told MailOnline that he had just gotten out of his shower when he saw the car and was right next to it. The car came over my bed and I saw it.
“I owned that car for fifteen years, and it became part of me.” It was almost unbelievable. All of it happened in a matter of seconds.
“And then I saw the car in front of me being destroyed and people outside my house. The task of clearing everything took quite a while.
The video was taken by his next door neighbour, who captured Rishi’s car being hit by the rogue driver, in Wembley, west London.

After colliding with the parked vehicle, the car turns on its side on the street.
This is just before the flip over. The car’s front and rear tires are connected to the roof.
This is the Skoda Octavia fully tipped before the rescue crews arrived.

Skoda’s front left tyre, which is front-wheel drive, found traction and drove on top of his vehicle. It turned the diesel saloon eight years old onto its side.
The 2005 VW Golf black was hit just above the front left corner, and he scraped its side when it returned to Earth.
Rishi’s car was shunted onto the path, busting the axle.
The cost of repairing the damage to Rishi’s car exceeded the value of the vehicle and it was written off.
Police, fire service, ambulance, and the police all rushed to help. The driver was able to escape the accident through his passenger rear window after an hour.
To address a potential petroleum link, the first response was by the fire brigade.
Rishi was a director of recruitment and an app developer. He gave water to the driver who wasn’t hurt except for his wrist.
He uses his road as a cutting-through between the A40 and the A406.
His house was cordoned for 4 hours, causing traffic chaos until 9pm.
As a nearby police perimeter is established, firefighters are on the scene and trying to remove the driver from the vehicle.
According to the London Ambulance Service, firefighters were dispatched for a collision that occurred on Woodstock Road, Wembley.
“A car that was colliding with a parked vehicle caused it to flip over. The vehicle was overturned by firefighters after one man became trapped.
London Ambulance Service staffs were able to treat him immediately. The scene was made safe by firefighters.
“The Brigade was called at 5.12 PM and the fire was out for firefighters by 5.37pm.
