Restaurant owner tells of horror after minicab crashes into Caldon Canal RESTAURANT owner Jamie Bateman has told of the moment a minicab driver was pulled from the water after his taxi ended up in Caldon canal. Emergency services were called out to Cheddleton's Castro's Restaurant and Lounge at around 10.30pm last night after the vehicle had become almost completely submerged in the neighbouring Caldon Canal. It appears the vehicle, a Toyota Avensis, was from Newcastle-based Roseville Private Hire. Owner Jamie Bateman, of Leek, said: “I was in the kitchen at about half 10 when some of the staff came in and told me there was a car in the canal. A local man got into the water and got the driver out before the emergency services arrived and we took him into the office for a cup of tea while he was getting dry. Investigations launched after children splattered with blood from animal waste truck in Weston Coyney “I’ve never seen anything like it before, there were flashing lights everywhere like some kind of terrorist attack. It was dark on Friday but I just don’t know how the driver managed to do it. “Everyone came out to take photographs of what was happening, even other drivers. It was quite amusing really.” Police, firefighters and ambulance crews attended the scene and spent more than two hours removing the car from the water. A spokesman from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Two pumps from Leek and a pump from Newcastle were called to Cheadle Lane, in Cheddleton, at about 10.40pm on Friday, November 21. Firefighters prepared themselves with wetsuits but the driver of the car was already out of the vehicle on arrival. “The man was recieving treatment from the ambulance service. Crews left the scene at just after 11pm." Read more: http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Taxi-cra ... z3Jo8drYHa |
