Yes - apparently a 41 year old smelling of alcohol was taken to hospital after decapitating a tree at a height of over 7 meters. The car was a Suzuki Swift.

Just came across this article covering the opening of Murray Motor Company’s new site in 1987. Nice to see a Turbo Esprit parked almost where my Exige was parked when I picked it up new in 2018, almost 30 years later.
