Did you see my car crash?  If you did could you get in touch with me
please?  It happened last Thursday (25th) in Mayfield Road right
outside KB at 5pm.

Here's what happened:

My car was a red Citroen BX (F851BAT), and I was waiting in Mayfield
Road facing into town, indicating right and wanting to turn right into
Ross Road (to go down towards Cameron Toll), waiting for a break in
the traffic.  A metallic dark green VW Polo (P192MSC) came up Mayfield
Road into town and crashed straight into the back of my car.  The
driver apparently wasn't aware that my car was there, because I saw no
attempt to slow down (I saw the whole thing in my rear view mirror!) -
one second hurtling along, the next **CRUNCH**.

It was very obviously the other person's fault, and there were no
injuries and no police prosecutions, so I don't think the insurance
claim would be hugely controversial; but it would help a lot if I had
witnesses.  You probably wouldn't need to do very much, if anything,
except give me your name & address for me to put on my claim form.

Lots of people saw the crash, and if *you* did, please mail me at
cc@dcs.ed.ac.uk or phone me on 650 5203.  I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
