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.
