Woman, 82, flips car on forecourt

An 82-year-old pensioner who destroyed a diesel pump and overturned her car on the forecourt is welcome back, says the fuel station's manager.

Suzanne Cordeau was trying to manoeuvre her Toyota Starlet closer to the pump when she accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake.



The car careered across the forecourt in Tewkesbury, and hit a diesel pump - knocking it off its foundations.

Mrs Cordeau's car then hit a kerb before turning over on to its roof.

She escaped with minor injuries, but it took a team of 12 firefighters to free her from the wreckage.
