Update: Car lands in garage
12:37pm Sunday 13th July 2008

By Mark Chandler »
A NURSERY school teacher has spoken of her shock after a car landed on top of her garage this morning (July 13).
Joyce Alimo and her husband Walter were woken at 1am by a "blood-curdling thud" outside their home in Warren Road, Orpington.
She said: "I rushed outside and saw a young man climbing out of the car.
"The car was pointing head down into my garage like an arrow."
A group of passers-by helped the car's other passenger out of the vehicle and lay him on the pavement.
Mrs Alimo believes the car may have hit her 8ft garden hedge which acted like a ramp, sending it flying into the garage.
She says the impact has written off her own car which was in the garage, and destroyed the rest of its contents.
Mrs Alimo said: "It was an accident waiting to happen - very often we hear shrieking cars late at night.
"But my main concern is that nobody was killed.
"There have to be some speed bumps put in this road because there are schools either side of it."
One of the occupants was taken to hospital but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

I hope these jokers are prosecuted for their mad behaviour. Rather than just joke around with their mates in their sub zero language a word of apology would be appropriate for the owners of the damaged property. It would have been the first message left here if they had any decency. I wonder how they are going to repay the damage?

I cannot believe some of the posts on here. Why are people almost congratulating the idiots that did this? Do they not understand the trouble this is causing the poor people who's garage and car has been ruined! Thank god they were not harmed as this could have been a lot more serious! I think these little boys need to grow up and stop trying to act like men as they clearly can't handle the responsibility!!

i am the cousin of they boy who crashed this car. I want to apologise for the stress and grief he has put the owners of this house through. His family are devastated.
i also think he needs to get some new friends all you sad little kids on here need to grow up, my cousin could of died or worse could of killed someone so it is not funny and he does not need people like you around him. and the joker posting as lewis is NOT my cousin so leave off, he doesn't need to get into any more trouble than he already is!

Look We are only trying to Show support. Yes They were Stupid For what happend, But no one is trying to Be Gangstas or Heros. And Yes we a "Youths", but who said that Everyone of us is Being knocked up, Off our head on drugs Mugging old women? If You judge us, we Judge you. The boys Were stupid, and No on is agreeing tht what they did is right. No we dont need to Change our mates either.. We need to be there for eachother, and make sure they dont do it again! They are really sorry for the damage and for the presents, But mrs Alimos' presents arent actually as important as The crash, the boys or How Mrs ALimo is doing. i dont even agree with some comments on here, but people who actually care bout the boys arent "BIGGIN" them up or finking of them as heros and we're not wasting our time o the internet just Showing we care for EVERYONE involved in the crash.

Lets just hope he had insurance mot tax and a driving licence!!! and the car was his!!!If not then we have a right to judge!A close friend was killed because a silly little boy thought it was fun to drive around speeding and over the drink and drugs limit and you know what he said in court "I was trying to impress my mates"lets hope it don't happen to any of family and friends because this could have been the case and then Im dam sure you wouldn't take the **** of people expressing their feelings!people are upset because this is a family that they know and their home has been destroyed I'm sure you would be pretty upset if it were your mum or dads house.
John, Bromley says...

The boy responsible for this has NO INSURANCE and NO DRIVING LICENCE. He is 16. He was witnessed trying to run from the scene leaving his friend for dead still trapped inside the squashed car. Random passers-by dragged the passenger out of the car and called for help.

I dont know the full story but what ever it is its obvious they wasnt driving within the law, these sort of accidents never happen when you drive within the constraints of the law.
That said some of the so called adults need to have a cold hard look at themselfs as all these people were doing was stating how grateful they was their friends were still alive. Is that not the behaviour of a normal caring human being anymore then ? Yes what they did was stupid, and ive no doubt these boys really regret what happened, but at the end of the day it was a garage that was destroyed, expensive what with the car being inside as well and no doubt caused some distress to the owners, but the car and garage contents can be replaced and the garage rebuilt, if these two boys had lost their lives in this accident,well tell me, how do you replace the loss of two young lives no matter what race colour or ethnic origin ? how do the parents rebuild their lives after losing a child ?
Because of course every single person who slagged this young kid off has never broken the speed limit, as a young driver or as an adult,no doubt you will all claim to never have done anything that was rash and foolish, as you are all so perfect. well ?

In response to Jess;
When I was at school we were taught to use a capital I. In case this was wrong I looked it up and found the following;
So maybe you need to go back to school and learn how to write properly. Also, there should be an apostrophe in "Im".
There may just be something in the fact that we don't believe children are very well educated.

You obviously had a very poor education and are barely literate. I won't even start to correct your mistakes. My comment about checking was meant to be tongue in cheek, but you clearly don't have the intelligence to see that.
I note that Jess took my comments with good grace, and you never know might actually have learnt something.
I did actually think that Jess had a valid point in;
I couldn't agree more. There are far too many adults who have no parenting skills and yet still insist on bringing children into the world. I say you should need to pass a test before you're allowed to have children.
Please remember we were all teenagers once as well, but I hope that I had more respect for adults than most of the kids I see today.
By the way if you are a teenager you have just proved the point that teenagers are completely rude and obnoxious. If I was of a sensitive disposition I would ask for your comment to be removed as it could be deemed to be offensive. However, I am big enough to let it stay so that others can see your reaction.

I think we are forgetting point here!It not about spelling and grammer!This about a boy being very stupid (driving a car with no licence tax mot insurance etc)I do feel thou that as a mother myself I would would feel disgusted if a child of mine did something like this.We live in a world where children are having children.I do agree that most youths these days think the world owes them and they think they have the right to do as they please but then again there is nothing for them to do.When I was a child we had clubs to go to and they were open during school hoildays theres nothing for them nowdays so I guess their fun is doing what they want!!!Do you not think its time to change?I would actually be scared for my childen to play out!

Im now 18 and one of my mates george mosedale he is on here if you look him up! died in a car crash a lil bit ago it makes u realise how thankful you are for your life but you wont until it happens to you! when i was in the car crash i thought hmm ye i sruvived but it has stopped me from driving fast but thats the last i thought about it! it dusnt sink home until someone dies! and it shouldnt be like that"! i think you little girls need to grow up and face the facts that most of the people on here have mopre experience in life than you i was like you once but wait till something really does happen to you one day".. stop trying to be big and sit back and listen.. and as for saying stupid presents '' lets home all them presents your mum and dad buy for you for your christmas or birthday get damaged! it wouldnt upset you or your parents who bought them! it would at your age now think of 5 year old children!..

Do i have any proof they have a better education than most of us ? Do I need it ? Most of the kids on here have put reasonable arguments across without the need for calling people chavs or pikeys, something the so called grown ups are not capable of doing. Of course the standard of education has gone up, 20 years ago you wouldnt even have seen a pc in a class room, and the mere fact you dont have the brains to actually realise this, well it shows they got a better education than you eh ! Even when the kids type in plain english, you cant argue the point with them, oh no they are to clever for you, all you ponces can do is pick up that they never pushed the shift key at the same time they typed the letter I, or never used a "'" in the word I'm, what great examples you all set these children ! How to be direspectful hateful and hurtful...........an
d you then wonder why they respond in kind....children take example from their elders, bought time some of them started to act like the mature responsible caring human beings they try and make out they are and " SET AN EXAMPLE "

Paul, you are obviously not very intelligent. Please don't assume we all received the poor level of education that you did. I was at school 20 years ago and I had just started my O' Level in Computer Studies, so yes we did have PC's in our school. I don't think it is disrespectful to point out people's mistakes. If you are never told that you are wrong how would you ever improve yourself. The comments I did make were made to a teenager who proudly states that they will be getting a grade B in English. I'm sorry, but 20 years ago if you didn't know when to capitalise you would not even be sitting a GCE exam, you would have been in the CSE classes. Unfortunately, because of Labour's tendency to try and make everyone mediocre, we are in a situation where teenagers are leaving school thinking that they know everything. I actually feel sorry for them. They are being pushed into University courses which most of them aren't capable of - this has been shown by the vast numbers of drop outs year on year. As a result of this most of them will be in some considerable debt by the time they actually start their working life. Degrees have been dumbed down also, so that more people are getting First Class degrees that they would never have got 20 years ago. Employers are going to be a lot more selective in future and I wouldn't be surprised to see graduates struggling to find work, unless they are prepared to accept McDonalds as a career choice.
If you notice, I did point out later that I thought Jess had a valid point. Presumably you were so incensed at my original "dig" that you didn't bother reading further down. This proves your ignorance!

Paul, you are obviously not very intelligent. Please don't assume we all received the poor level of education that you did. I was at school 20 years ago and I had just started my O' Level in Computer Studies, so yes we did have PC's in our school. I don't think it is disrespectful to point out people's mistakes. If you are never told that you are wrong how would you ever improve yourself. The comments I did make were made to a teenager who proudly states that they will be getting a grade B in English. I'm sorry, but 20 years ago if you didn't know when to capitalise you would not even be sitting a GCE exam, you would have been in the CSE classes. Unfortunately, because of Labour's tendency to try and make everyone mediocre, we are in a situation where teenagers are leaving school thinking that they know everything. I actually feel sorry for them. They are being pushed into University courses which most of them aren't capable of - this has been shown by the vast numbers of drop outs year on year. As a result of this most of them will be in some considerable debt by the time they actually start their working life. Degrees have been dumbed down also, so that more people are getting First Class degrees that they would never have got 20 years ago.

and where did you goto school ? pcs, way back then were not desk top for a start, so how exactly did your school have one ? sniff sniff, can you all smell that....the sweet smell of bull s**t, as for having a better education than me, dream on pal. The meer fact your arguments seem to always contain putting someone down or bigging youself up only goes to show what a poorly educated sad little moron you are ! Oh and when it comes to ignorance, you take first place !
