This was the scene at a Bristol car dealership today after Storm Eunice caused scaffolding to collapse on as many as 15 new cars and caused hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage.
The managing director of Roadworthy Suzuki in Fishponds said he was only thankful no one was hurt in the incident, which saw three-storeys high scaffolding come crashing down outside the front door of the showroom, just ten seconds after a customer had walked in.
Steve Hoare said they were tidying up as best they could, but the collapse would impact their business as it had damaged so many cars in the forecourt. The scaffolding came crashing down in the strongest of the Storm Eunice winds around lunchtime at the dealership on Fishponds Road.
