BULLDOG CRASHES CELEBRITY'S SPORTS CARLONDON -- British TV host Johnny Vaughan says his £60,000 sports car was crashed by his pet bulldog Harvey.Vaughan had stopped his Maserati 3200GT on the way home from a visit to a vet, thinking Harvey needed to go potty. But when he got out of the vehicle, Harvey jumped across the seat and hit the gear stick into drive. He then jumped into the footwell, hit the accelerator and sent the car into a parked van. "I couldn't believe it," said Vaughan, "but the car shot forward, with me chasing behind — and went straight into the back of a van with a huge crunch. I was too shocked to be angry. I couldn't believe my dog had crashed my car." Vaughan said his insurance company wouldn't pay the £11,000 repair bill. "They just fell about laughing and refused to pay out." |
