A car wash worker not legally allowed to drive crashed a customer's classic Mercedes and claimed he wrote off the classic car after trying to save the life of a mouse.
Omid Abas, 41, was assigned to give the vehicle a £30 'super valet' but decided to take the car for a 60-mile drive.
But he crashed the valuable rare and pristine 1992 550E Merc that owner Kevin Murphy, 77, described as 'a cherished and prized possession'.
