He had a smashed light. My mum was pretty shaken 2 people came out after seeing the incident. but were unable to get registration. Anyone knows off a little black car that had a accident smashed right side light ...I would love to hear from you. Accident was reported but police were very unplesant to deal with. What wrong with people these days. They could have seriously hurt someone.
