In a bewildering sequence of events, Surrey Police were notified about the same car crashing three different times within a span of two hours. The vehicle, which astonishingly had only three wheels intact, was involved in multiple collisions before law enforcement intervened. A 45-year-old man from Guildford has been apprehended in connection with these incidents.

Unfolding of the Incidents

The first crash involving the three-wheeled car was reported at approximately 5:30 PM. Witnesses described a sedan missing its front right wheel, veering off the road and smashing into a guardrail near the junction of the A3 and Clay Lane. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, but the driver had already fled.

Barely an hour later, at 6:20 PM, emergency services received another frantic call. This time, the same heavily damaged car was seen careening out of control along the Woking Road. It collided with a parked vehicle, causing considerable damage. Once again, eyewitnesses reported that the driver seemed unperturbed and managed to continue driving despite the alarming condition of the car.

The bizarre odyssey of this battered vehicle culminated in a final crash around 7:15 PM. The car, now displaying extensive damage, finally came to an involuntary halt on Parkway, after hitting a tree. Surrey Police arrived shortly thereafter and arrested the driver, a 45-year-old man from Guildford, who appeared visibly disoriented but uninjured.

A police spokesperson stated, "It is remarkable and extremely fortunate that nobody was seriously injured in any of these crashes. This kind of reckless behavior endangers not just the driver but everyone on the road."

Ongoing Investigation

The suspect is currently in custody, and investigations are ongoing. Authorities are trying to piece together a coherent narrative of what transpired between the first crash and the eventual arrest. Preliminary reports suggest possible impairment, though toxicology results are pending.

Residents of Guildford expressed their shock at the series of events. "It's terrifying to think someone could cause so much chaos in such a short period," remarked one local. "We’re just grateful nobody got hurt."

Community Response

This unusual episode has reignited discussions about road safety and the importance of regular vehicle maintenance. Surrey Police have urged drivers to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy before setting off, emphasising that even minor issues can escalate into serious problems.

"As we investigate the motivations behind these incidents, we remind the community to exercise vigilance and report any suspicious or unsafe driving behavior immediately," reiterated the police spokesperson.

The suspect’s identity has not yet been disclosed, and he is expected to appear in court soon. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
