Got a call from a Gibbo Phil on the way home, to say that he was stuck on the hill down from the Clappers at Sharpenhoe, 2 cars and a transit tipper had crashed and he couldn't reverse back up the hill as it was too snowy and icy. Got home and got the Landy out, meanwhile he'd called again to say that the Police were now in attendance and had closed the road. International Rescue on route.
Got there, found the Police car also stuck, then a Police Slitty 4x4 turned up, he went off to deal with the easy crash at the bottom of the hill as there were children in the car.
Left me the rest to sort out, first pulled the Police car backwards up the hill out of the way so I could get to the accident. Transit was imbedded in a snow bank with an Insignia crashed into the back of it. It was like glass, really tricky just to stand up even.
Pulled the Insignia back up the hill, the front end was very badly smashed up.
Decided to lower the transit down the hill, using me to do all of its braking, the driver was very shaken, so my mate steered it for him.
End result, everybody got home, I got a bottle of Glenfiddich and a letter of commendation coming from the Police.
I was not stuck i just couldnt move backwards so carried on down the hill to the pub as it was works xmas do (and free beer till 7 so couldnt stay longer)
