Following a call to recover a vehicle with a stuck throttle, an AA patrolman attended the home of Katherine Ashley in Windsor, Berks. On seeing the malfunctioning Renault he proceeded to get it onto his recovery vehicle but disaster struck when the car veered off the low-loader and landed on a neighbour's porch causing £20,000 worth of damage. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and the 4th emergency service was able to do without the help of any of the other 3.
