The Christmas shopping chaos seemed to get too much for one driver in Lewes yesterday morning (Monday, December 21) as when reversing, they accidentally mounted the kerb - and then the bonnet of a silver car parked behind.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service sent a crew from Newhaven to the scene at Brooks Road shortly after 11:30am.
