A FATHER and daughter whose parked vehicles were destroyed after being hit by a car in Colcot Road on Tuesday (January 16) have recalled the devastation they saw after the crash took place.

Aimée and Len Cattle were inside their Colcot Road home when they heard "what sounded like an explosion" shortly after 8.30pm.

Both Mr Cattle's Mitsubishi L200 and his daughter's Vauxhall Tigre had been parked outside of their home on the road, either side of the driveway entrance.

"I heard this massive noise, like nothing I’d ever heard before," said Ms Cattle, 25.

"I looked outside the house and my car was nowhere to be seen."

Mr Cattle, 63, went outside to see what had happened and told his daughter to contact the emergency services.

"My truck had moved across the width of my drive and onto my daughter’s car. It flipped that car onto the pavement and my car into next door’s garden," he said.

"It was like someone had thrown scrap out of a scrap van as they were going down the road. (The driver's car) was just obliterated."

There was also further damage to a wall owned by Colcot Road florist, Hilary West. Mr Cattle's truck hit the wall after the collision, destroying it virtually in its entirety.

"We were one of the first on the scene," said Ms Cattle. "It was like a disaster movie, there were people checking on the driver, people checking our vehicles checking nobody was in there, trying to make sure there were no pedestrians."

Emergency services used cutting equipment to remove the driver safely from his vehicle, which onlookers say took them around an hour to complete.

The driver, a man in his 20s, is recovering in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

No arrests have been made by South Wales Police, who are continuing with their inquiries .

Any witnesses who have not yet provided an account are asked to contact 101, quoting occurrence 1800019547.
