Story out of Thames Valley, England:
A driver made a terrified eight minute 999 call to say his car was stuck in cruise control doing more than 100mph before he slammed into a lorry and was instantly decapitated, an inquest has heard.
The moment he collided with the 18-tonne stationary lorry, which was parked in a lay-by, was heard by the police call handler, the inquest in Beaconsfield, Bucks., today heard.
Moments earlier he had told the operator that the cruise control on the modern car, which had a push-button to start and stop the engine rather than an ignition key, had stuck open.
Each time Mr Gandhi pushed it the engine screamed at high revs, topping speeds of 116mph before the final impact, which left the car embedded under the lorry all the way to the back wheels.
Emergency services who arrived at the scene soon after the crash found Mr Gandhi’s headless body in the wreckage.
The Skoda was found with its roof peeled off up to its rear wheels. Cont.
