Good Samaritan sees generosity backfire

A motorist who offered a crash victim shelter in his car watched in horror as firemen sliced it open to get him out.

Sean Carter was driving home when he saw a Citroen Saxo spin out of control, roll over and hit a hedge. He dialled 999 and told the driver to sit in his 10-month old Ford Focus, reports the Mirror.

But when medics arrived they decided the victim should only be moved out horizontally via the car roof - which then had to be sliced off. Sean said: “Sometimes a good deed isn’t worth it.”
