An elderly couple who were forced to move into a caravan have been dealt a fresh blow just days before Christmas - after it was completely destroyed in a crash. Christine and John Alexander, both 75, were towing their caravan to a new pitch when it was written off in a crash on an A-road.
The pensioners moved into the caravan at Barnetby Top, outside Grimsby, in November after they were evicted from the bungalow they lived in in Wrawby, Grimsby Live reported. Suffering through freezing temperatures, which saw them forced to cuddle their two Labrador dogs for warmth, they were faced with another nightmare when the caravan was destroyed in a crash on the A18 on Sunday morning.
Christine and John are now relying on the goodwill of friends to keep a roof over their heads after their caravan flipped over onto its side, completely blocking the road. At the time, the caravan was being towed by the car of a family friend, while they were riding in their own vehicle behind.
